Lusk Home and Mill Site, Historic museum in Parke County, US.
The Lusk Home features Greek Revival architecture with bricks made on site and detailed walnut woodwork throughout the two-story residence.
Salmon Lusk received this land for his military service in the Battle of Tippecanoe and constructed the brick house in 1841 after living in a log cabin.
The property represents early Indiana pioneer life with its self-sufficient homestead, including a gristmill that served the surrounding community until 1847.
The museum offers guided tours during summer months, and visitors must pay an entrance fee at Turkey Run State Park main gate to access the site.
The former coal mine that Captain Lusk dug to heat his house now functions as a protected habitat for local bat populations.
