Autumn Bones

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2020

Born and raised Hoosier, living in the hills of Brown County with my husband and daughter. We’ve hiked just about every trail, explored hundreds of abandon places, and been to tons of quirky local attractions throughout Indiana. We also own a barn that is covered in dirty socks! Why? Check out the Sock Barn in Nashville, Indiana to find out!
