In the early 1800s, lumber companies were drawn to the area but by 1870 the beauty of the area had spread and Nashville became home to artists. The evolution of the arts expanded into performing arts with the Brown County Playhouse, Little Nashville Opry, and Countrytime Jamboree.
The Brown County Art Guild has its home in Nashville. On display at the guild is artwork by over fifty artists. Of special note are the collections of Marie Goth, V.J. Cariani, and Carl & Genieve Graf. The Brown County Art Guild features special shows throughout the year including a spring, fall, and holiday exhibits.
