There is a ton of history you will see as you wander the grounds this weekend. At the center of the property stands the 1851 General Store and Tavern, once the hub of the little town of Story that manufactured baby pram carriages and now a cozy restaurant and gathering place. Across the way is the historic barn, whose rustic timbers and glowing string lights set the perfect backdrop for wedding celebrations.

Beyond the main buildings, winding paths lead you to cottages and restored outbuildings, each named for original residents of the village. In the fall, the trees illuminate with color, gardens offer a touch of fragrance, and rocking chairs on the porches invite you to pause and take it all in. As evening falls, the whisper of local folklore—the tale of the gentle “Blue Lady”—make the Story Inn an unforgettable place to not just stay, but truly experience. We hope you enjoy every step of your time here as part of this living piece of Indiana’s history!
