BROWN COUNTY, INDIANA

Story was a bustling settlement from the years 1880-1929.  Never recovering from the Great Depression it lost half of its citizens from 1930-1940.
The entire town of Story in southern Indiana is now a Bed & Breakfast.  Beginning in 1978 and into the next decade, the 23 acres comprising the town were purchased  by a couple pursuing their dream of opening a B&B/Restaurant.   The houses and cottages and other historic buildings are now restored guest accommodations.  No TV's, radios, clocks, phones or wi-fi are available.  No development, just restoration. Talk about revisiting the past.
