Brown County / Nashville, Indiana Attractions
You'll never be at a loss for fun in Indiana's Brown County, where
some of Indiana's most beautiful scenery can be found. Heading
south from Indianapolis, you'll know you've arrived when the hills spread
out before you. Nashville
is the local county seat with a charm of its own, featuring artists' galleries,
antique stores,
quaint eateries, flea markets for treasure hunters,
original art
work, stained glass, ceramics, woodwork, windchimes, sculpture and furniture
await you. Brown County gained popularity as an artists' enclave
back in the 1800's. Today Brown County is known as the "artist colony of
the Midwest." Landscape artists adore the beauty of the countryside.
The area is beautiful all year long, but with the turn of the color in autumn,
the tourist season gets into full gear. The Christmas holiday
is another favorite time of year, when the shops are decorated to fit the
season.
