Belmont, Indiana
Belmont is an unincorporated community in Washington Township, Brown County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[3] In 1907 Hoosier Group artist T. C. Steele and his wife, Selma Neubacher Steele, moved into newly built studio and home on 60 acres (24 hectares) of hilltop land one and a half miles south of Belmont.[4][5] After purchasing additional acreage in 1911 to increase their Brown County property to 211 acres (85 hectares) of land, they made further improvements that included an enlarged home surrounded by expansive gardens, a large studio-gallery, and several other outbuildings.[6] In July 1945 Selma donated the entire property and more than 300 of her husband's paintings to the Indiana Department of Conservation (the present-day Indiana Department of Natural Resources) to preserve it as the T. C. Steele State Historic Site.[7] Belmont is located on State Road 46, halfway between Nashville and Bloomington in west-central Brown County.
