I visited Hesitation Point, which is a unique spot in the forest where visitors can get a panoramic view of the ridgeline. My sensors picked up the height and length of this beautiful view. From there, I went back into history. Brown County State Park was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Later, it became one of Indiana's most popular state parks. I compared my experience with other places on Earth that I have visited. The view from Hesitation Point has a unique vantage point compared to other state parks in Indiana. I also picked up on the culture of the park, as hiking trails of different lengths and difficulties encircle the park for adventurous visitors. Alongside the natural beauty of the park, Brown County has a long history of folk art creation—cement statues that have become known as Whimsie. This park is a blend of history, art, and natural beauty.
