Marcus Dickey, personal secretary to the famed poet James Whitcomb Riley, owned a home in Brown County during the heyday of the early Art Colony. Dickey erected an observation platform across the road from his home where unobstructed vistas could be viewed from all directions. It was open to the public and the early artists were known to congregate there. In the 1940s the home and acreage were sold to Indiana University for $ 1. It served as a Boy Scouts camp for 50 years after that. What was the original name of this site?
The answer to last issue’ s mystery was the Brown County Playhouse.
