Hobnob Corner Restaurant, Nashville, Indiana

We spent last weekend in Brown County, Indiana, at the Brown County Inn. It is one of our favorite places to go to relax and swim and shop. And eat.


One of our favorite places to eat is in downtown Nashville. The Hobnob Corner Restaurant started out life in 1873 as a dry goods store. It later became a drugstore and soda fountain.


It maintains some of that history and character today.


We've eaten at Hobnob many times and have always had great food and service. On our most recent visit I had the Rube Martin, a great variation on a Reuben sandwich. Anita had the spicy chicken sandwich, which was very good. You can see their menu here.

If you're in the Nashville area, swing by and enjoy a meal at Hobnob. If it's tourist season, you might have to wait a bit if you're going during peak hours. But it's worth it.

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.

Brown County Winery, Nashville, Indiana

Whenever we are in Brown County, we always stop by the Brown County Winery.

They have two locations: one in downtown Nashville, Indiana and one on highway 46 in between Nashville and Columbus, Indiana. When on 46, the winery is easy to find. Their downtown Nashville location is east on Main Street, off of Van Buren.



We stopped in for a few tastings, and as always ended up buying several bottles. We tend to prefer drier wines, so we bought some Chambourcin, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Autumn Red. My favorite has always been their Seyval Blanc, but I have several bottles of it still left from our last trip so I didn't need any more. They do offer multiple bottle and case discounts.

Next time we go we'll take a tour of the wine making facility, which is at the highway 46 location.

On the way out of the winery and on to Nashville, we passed this great sign for a wedding nearby.
