Historical Note
Brown County, Indiana was created in 1836 and named for Jacob Brown, a general in the War of 1812. Nashville is the county seat and there are four townships: Hamblen, Jackson, Van Buren and Washington. A number of artists have been drawn to the county's picturesque landscape, including impressionist painter T.S. Steele, who built a home and studio in Washington Township in 1907. The Brown County State Park, nicknamed the "Little Smokies," was opened in 1931 and is Indiana's largest park.
