Brown County (IN) Democrat, May 14, 1914, p. 4. BROWN COUNTY HILLS ATTRACT MANY VISITORS-INDIANAPOLIS VISITORS TO BEAUTIFUL BROWN COUNTY WILL BE MORE NUMEROUS THIS YEAR THINKS BELINDA Among other things, Belinda Brewster, writing for the Indianapolis Sunday Star, has the following to say concerning the beauties of Brown County. "The month of May means to Indianapolis that between-season time when the folk who go south for the winter have returned from their stay among the palms and the folk who go north in the summer are waiting for the sun's journey farther northward. Then it is that the interest centers about Indiana's beautiful Brown County. "The annual exodus toward that attractive hilly country has begun and the weekend at Brown County bids fair to become more popular this year than ever before. "It was only a few short years ago that a visit to Brown County was a thing unheard of except to a few who went down to see the folks, and Brown County as a fashionable summer resort would have been considered a joke. "Just who it was that first brought about this wonderful transformation of ideas and ideals would be hard to say, but that it was the automobile that has made is possible is a certainty. Of course, there are scores of people who are not the fortunate owners of motor cars and who get sufficient enjoyment out of the beauties of Brown County to make the trip by train. "The back-to-the-farm idea that has crept into American life with startling rapidity within the last few years seems to have gotten a particularly strong hold on the Indiana folk, and instead of building a summer home on some lake or at the seashore, hosts of Hoosiers are spending their summers in the country. "Unfortunately, considering it from a purely sentimental viewpoint, the old log cabins with their big brick chimneys are giving way to up-to-date bungalows. "Fortunately, however, most of the city folk who have built their summer homes down among those beautiful hills are so imbued with the glorious beauty of the country that they are building their cottages and laying out their grounds to harmonize with the natural landscape. "That is one of the chief charms of the summer home that Richard Lieber of Indianapolis has erected there. It suggests nothing startlingly new, but seems to fit right in with the scene. And the Lieber cottage is not the only one that has this charm, for while many of these houses are modern in all their conveniences and housekeeping appliances, they have the air of being as ancient as the very hills themselves. "To spend the weekend in Brown County is the most fashionable "stunt" that Indianapolis folk know, and the idea is particularly popular just at this time of the year when the hills are covered with spring flowers and the trees are bursting into foliage. "The drive through the country is wonderfully beautiful and getting into the little towns in Brown County really seems like getting into quite another country for those little villages still have about them the air of a half century ago when most of the modern city conveniences and amusements were undreamed of in Indiana."
