The T. C. Steele State Historic Site (also called the Theodore Clement Steele House and Studio, and named the House of the Singing Winds by its original owners) is located in rural Brown County, Indiana, one and a half miles south of Belmont, between Bloomington and Nashville, Indiana. The property was the studio and home of Hoosier Group landscape and portrait artist Theodore Clement Steele (1847–1926) and Selma Neubacher Steele (1870–1945), the artist's second wife. Shortly before her death in 1945, Selma donated the property on 211 acres (85 hectares) of land to the Indiana Department of Conservation (the present-day Indiana Department of Natural Resources) to establish a state historic site in memory of her husband. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 as the Theodore Clement Steele House and Studio. The Indiana State Museum operates the historic site, which is open to the public and offers guided tours of the home and studio.To visit T.C.

This property is a wonderful activity for your visit to Brown County Indiana. We had no idea about T. C. Steele and all the accomplishments of his wife Selma. Very glad we took the time to visit.

I came here early on a Saturday morning and Greg offered to take me on a tour even though I was 30 minutes late (or early) for the scheduled tours. He took me through the grounds and shared a veritable fount of knowledge about the Steeles, their home, and how they helped revitalize the area. I learned so much, and was thoroughly charmed by the art and the grounds. Although I've frequented Brown County for years, I had never visited because it seemed off the beaten path. The ticket was $10, and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to the price, but I definitely felt like I got my money's worth and more. The staff and the art ensured that. Go, it's such a delight.

What a gem! Watch the documentary before arriving and be sure to take the guided tour. This place connects art, history, beauty, nature and deep personal affection altogether. Take your time while visiting. Each season offers something unique. There is an “art out” here each year and you can buy originals from IHA artists. You can often see students sketching and painting on the grounds. On-site staff is very dedicated. #tcsteele #browncounty
