The Abe Martin Lodge is located in Brown County State Park
on a 16,000 acre wooded preserve
among rolling hills,
The largest state park
in Indiana, it includes Weed Patch Hill, which,
at an elevation of 1,058
feet,
is one of the highest points in the state.
Built in 1932 of hand-hewn native stone and oak timbers cut in the park, the Main Lodge has two spacious and comfortable lobbies with two fireplaces. A rustic dining room makes eating a pleasure. Abe Martin says, "You just can't go away hungry." There are thirty rooms in the Main Lodge, with another 54 in the new addition. These rooms and the twenty new housekeeping cabins are open all year. The original cabins built in 1932 have been completely remodeled and are electrically heated and air-conditioned. These units are open from April until November.
This is a popular tourist destination and often requires long term planning...
