The Hermitage

The Hermitage

J. Ottis Adams and T.C. Steele, two renown Indiana artists, set up their home and art studios on this large estate that spans 6.5 acres. The Hoosier Group painted here in the heart of the scenic Whitewater River Valley for several years. Join Martha for a tour of this 19-room house, and then converse over refreshments in the living room or studios. A library features a wood-burning fireplace, antique books and magazines. A 112-foot-long veranda with vintage furniture and a hammock overlooks the picturesque grounds. The adjacent Town Park and nearby lake offer many outdoor activities. Visit the historic region of Metamora, a Canal town and South Central area's covered bridge communities.
