evidences of a character in the outdoors that would command

The T.C. Steele State Historic Site, bequeathed to the
state of Indiana by Selma Steele at her death in 1945,
is a fitting tribute to this Indiana artist.
Guided tours are offered through The House of the Singing
Winds and the Large Studio where changing exhibits
display paintings done throughout Steele's life.
The site includes four hiking trails,
the Dewar Log Cabin and the 90 acre Selma Steele Nature
Preserve. Mrs. Steele's gardens display a festival
of flowers from spring to autumn.
