Hidden Gem of the Week

Each week, Everything Hamilton County uncovers a lesser-known local favorite worth a visit, from independent shops and scenic overlooks to historic spots and small eateries.

Restored 1828 George Boxley log cabin atop the grassy hilltop of Sheridan, Indiana's Veterans Park on a clear late-autumn afternoon
Week of November 9, 2026
Sheridan, Indiana • Historic Spot Worth a Visit

The George Boxley Cabin, a hidden slice of frontier history.

Standing on Pioneer Hill in Sheridan's Veterans Park since 1828, the George Boxley Cabin is the oldest structure in Adams Township and a restored link to an abolitionist's escape to the Indiana frontier. The park grounds are free to walk any day, and guided interior tours return in the warmer months. This week's hidden gem is a quiet, story-rich stop in northern Hamilton County.

Expert Real Estate Authority

25+ Years of Local Pride & Entrepreneurship.

Before launching into a celebrated 25+ year real estate career, I spent years in retail buying and promotion. That entrepreneurial background gives me a distinct edge when negotiating deals and strategically presenting local properties.

I hold specialized designations as a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and a Certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (CREN), dedicating my practice to helping families, empty nesters, and seniors move through major life transitions with ease. I specialize in creative strategies, including off-market property searches to help buyers win in tight neighborhoods where inventory moves in days, not months.

I work across all of Hamilton County — Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Westfield — plus Zionsville and Whitestown in neighboring Boone County. Most communities here sit 20 to 30 miles from downtown Indianapolis with commutes under 45 minutes, giving residents a suburban lifestyle with easy city access.

When I'm off active duty you'll find me snow skiing on mountain slopes, caring for my horses, undertaking DIY home renovations, or spending precious time as a proud grandmother (known to my grandbabies as Mimi!).

A Note from Your Curator
"I believe real estate starts with finding your lifestyle anchor — the park where your kids will play, the school system that fuels their tomorrow, and the street corner that feels instantly like home. Everything Hamilton County is my love letter and local guide to the place I call home."
