Meander along narrow
country roads and wander aimlessly through the rolling hills and sleepy hollows
of southern Indiana. Cross over the picturesque Bean
Blossom Covered Bridge built in 1880 and located
on Covered Bridge Road in Bean Blossom. Witness Brown County's brilliant display
of color during the fall season when the countryside becomes a blurred canvas
of majestic reds and sunkissed yellows. Watch for deer grazing in the meadows
at roadside as twilight approaches.
Nashville
also offers
a variety of nighttime entertainment. Listen to live music at the Little Nashville
Opry or learn to line dance at Mike's Music and Dance Barn. Take in a play
at the Brown County Playhouse or the Pine Box Music Theatre. To hear the best
in bluegrass, plan a special trip around the annual Bill
Monroe Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival scheduled in June. Blues and gospel
events are also scheduled at various times throughout the year.

During
your stay
take time to experience the old-fashioned ambience and charm of Nashville,
an artists' colony in the heart of Brown County where
one will find over 250 eclectic shops scattered haphazardly about the quaint
village streets. Set aside some time to stroll through the various studios
and galleries many of which feature the motley wares of local artisans and
craftsmen. Before heading back to the cabin, stop by the Nashville House for
their famous homemade hot fried
biscuits and baked apple butter. For lighter
fare, the Hobnob Corner Restaurant offers a variety of sandwiches, soups and
salads.
Take
a 20-mile walk
along the Ten O'Clock Line Hiking Trail which connects Yellowwood State Forest
and Brown County State Park. Picnicking, fishing and horseback riding are
also available at both locations for those looking for less strenuous activity.
Bring a mountain bike and ride the 25-mile trail system at Gnaw Bone Camp
or try the Knobstone Trail (Nebo Ridge) near Story which offers a 17-mile
loop of singletrack. Canoe tours via Brown County Wilderness Canoe Rental
exist from April through November. See link below for details.
