T. C. Steele State Historic Site
T. C. Steele State Historic Site, Artistic estate in Brown County, Indiana.
The T. C. Steele State Historic Site includes a house, studio, and 211 acres of natural landscape where the American Impressionist painter worked and lived.
Theodore Clement Steele and his wife Selma moved to this property in 1907, establishing a creative retreat that became a center for Indiana art until 1926.
The studio building, constructed in 1916, maintains its original design features for plein-air painting and displays numerous works from the American Impressionist movement.
Visitors can take guided tours of both the house and studio, explore five hiking trails, and participate in regular art workshops throughout the year.
The property includes a preserved family cemetery, relocated historical log cabin, and the 92-acre Selma Steele Nature Preserve established in 1990.
