The mission of the Brown County Historical Society is to collect, preserve and present the history of Brown County, Indiana. To approach this goal, we maintain the Pioneer Museum in downtown Nashville, The Coulter Archives at our Society building and present a monthly program on local history.


The new spring hours for the History Center will begin May 1, 2020 and last through October. The days we are open will be Tuesday, Friday, & Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. The Archives will still be open Tuesday and Friday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. 

 Come See Our Beautiful History Center !

Located just northeast of the courthouse, the recently completed Brown County History Center welcomes visitors with a wide front porch and rustic charm.  There are exhibit halls, a reconstructed log cabin room with fireplace, a gift shop, environmentally controlled areas for the collection and archive of important documents.  Learn what makes Brown County so fascinating. Tours are also available for groups by reservation on days we are not normally open - please call 812-988-2899
