House of the Singing Winds
Attracted by the rugged hills and spectacular vistas, famed "Hoosier Group" painter T.C. Steele (1847-1926) was the first artist to settle in Brown County, just after the turn of the 20th century. Visit Steele's historic studio and home, the House of the Singing Winds, at the T.C. Steele State Historic Site.
Many of Steele's impressionist landscape, still life and portrait paintings are displayed for all to enjoy. After touring the buildings, explore 211 acres of restored historic gardens, five wooded hiking trails and the Selma Steele State Nature Preserve.
Our museum gift shop has wonderful posters, books and gift items, but the paintings are held in trust for all to enjoy, and are not for sale.
The guest artist at T.C. Steele for the June Studio and Garden Tour is
Pat Siddiq.
