Nashville, Indiana is best known as the center of the Brown County Art Colony.
Hidden within the confines of the Hoosier National Forest and situated atop Browning Mountain, accessing the peculiar stone structure requires a bit of a trek, which includes a 928-foot climb to the mountain’s summit.
Because of the placement of the giant slabs – some are randomly strewn about, while others are arranged in a perfect circle – there’s speculation that the site once served as a sacred meeting place for Native Americans.
The type of rock that the stones are comprised of is not from the region, and being that the giant box-shaped rocks must weigh tons, it raises the question – How did they get to the top of Browning Mountain?
A great spot for some outdoor exploration, there’s more to Browning Mountain than a baffling stone structure. There’s also a pond, well, and old building foundation.
