Sometimes referred to as the "Art Colony of the Midwest", Brown County is a beautifully scenic piece of Indiana that has been attracting artists and creatives since the 1800s. If you love art and culture, it's easy to spend an entire day here simply driving around the winding back roads and visiting the many artists' studios and galleries scattered throughout the county. However, there are plenty of other things to do as well; say hello to the birds of prey at the Indiana Raptor Center, tour the town of Nashville by train or horse carriage, or explore the county's artisan distilleries, wineries, and breweries.
