From the Story Inn website:


What's the Story?  Story is actually an entire town, located in southern Brown County.  The town of Story and the "Story Inn" are one and the same. 


From logging to lodging.  The town was founded as a logging community in 1851, with the grant of a land patent from President Millard Fillmore to Dr. George P. Story. In the early 1980s two hippies from Bloomington bought and re-assembled the old town, and created the Story Inn.  Today, Story is Indiana's premier country inn, and perhaps the best preserved example of a 19th Century village that survives in the American Midwest. 


One inconvenient location since 1851.  Story is accessible either by motorized vehicle or horseback.  If you employ the former means, you must negotiate the only paved road which services the town (State Road 135).  From the county seat of Nashville (population 800) it is a winding 20 minute drive past weather-beaten barns, covered bridges, clapboard churches and the finest fall foliage the Hoosier state has to offer.  If you arrive by horseback, you may take the "E" trail from the Horsemen's Camp at the Brown County State Park (about a three hour trek along ridges and through hollers).  The trail ends at a hitching post near the town's Tavern.
