Brown County Historical Museum, Nashville, Indiana

Last time we were in Nashville, Indiana, we walked over to the Brown County History Museum, located on Old School Lane, near the courthouse.

The museum consists of 5 very old buildings, beginning with the Dog Trot Barn. Some of the logs used to make the barn are over 60 feet long.

One portion of the barn houses a loom room, where a nice lady showed us how they used to spin and weave.

Next we went to an old log cabin.

The blacksmith was quite entertaining. He showed us just how it used to be done!

Next, we went to an 1898 doctor's office that has been left just as it was the last day it was used.

Finally, we went to the old jail, which was really, really claustrophobic. The ceiling must have been only 4' high. There was also a jail on the second floor, along with a two-headed calf!

For $1.50, it was worth going thru the old buildings. The people that were there from the Brown County Historical Society were very nice and informative.
