Browning Hill, known locally as Browning Mountain,[1] is, at Script error: No such module "convert". tall,[1] the 53rd highest peak in Indiana.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Located in Brown County, near the town of Story, the hill is partly in Hoosier National Forest, and is designated a special management area by the United States Forest Service due to the "relatively undisturbed" old-growth forest that covers it.[2]
The hill has acquired an air of mystery. It looms over the ghost town of Elkinsville and is topped by a limestone[3] "field of boulders",[4] giving rise to its nickname, "Indiana's Stonehenge."[1] Various explanations are given for how the stones got there, such as it being a Native American site for ceremonies or a cabin's foundation, but according to a naturalist, it is most probable that early settlers quarried the stones and then left them behind when they moved on to other locations.[1]
