Indiana: Monroe Lake to host Elkinsville tour Nov. 16

Monroe Lake interpretive naturalist Jill Vance will host a combination driving and walking tour through the former town of Elkinsville in Brown County on Monday, Nov. 16, at 1 p.m.

The tour will be limited to 10 people, and all participants must drive themselves. Registration is required by Nov. 12 at bit.ly/elkinsvilletour2020. Cost is $10 per person.

Elkinsville was a center of commerce and community for a remote part of Brown County until Monroe Lake was put in. During this tour, participants will discover the history of this town, walk its former main street, and find out what happened to it after the lake went in.

Questions should be directed to Jill Vance at 812-837-9967 or jvance@dnr.IN.gov.
