Brown County Indiana
In 1809 the United States acquired land from the Indians, part of which forms the southwest section of what is now Brown County. By the treaty of St. Mary's in 1818, considerably more territory became the property of the government, and this included Brown County land. The town of NashvilleA History of Brown County
A colony of artists was drawn to Brown County. In 1907 T. C. Steele built a home near Belmont and Adolph Shulz came to Nashville. Will Vawter, V. J. Cariani, Marie Goth, C. Curry Bohm, Dale Bessire, and many others also moved to Nashville; and in that small village of 323 people the Brown County Art Gallery opened its doors to the public in 1926. In 1954 a larger gallery was built on East Main Street, and an Art Guild established a gallery in the old Minor House on Van Buren Street.
