Author, Photographer, Conservationist and more...

Gene Stratton-Porter is Indiana's most widely read female author. Nearly 100 years ago, her best-selling novels and nature studies were translated into multiple languages and later transformed into movies. Gene's Cabin at Wildflower Woods was her beloved home for several years.

 

The Gene Stratton-Porter Society exists to support the programs and efforts of the Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site in Rome City. The GSP SHS, part of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Site Corporation, continues Gene's legacy of conservation, life-long learning and enjoying the beauty of the natural world around us.

 

The GSP Site is made up of nearly 150 acres of shoreline, fields, woods and formal gardens. You can take a guided tour of Gene's beloved Cabin at Wildflower Woods or simply stroll the grounds at your leisure.
