The Back Roads
of Brown County
Artists & Craftsmen Tour
Experience the excitement of a Brown County fall when the rolling hills are ablaze with colors. See breathtaking vistas and the places of rich beauty that inspired many artists and craftsmen to make Brown County their home.
During October you are invited to take a self-guided tour and visit the studios of selected potters, painters, weavers, and a stained glass artist—the people that make Brown County “The Art Colony of the Midwest” TM.
Brochures with a self-guided map are available at the Brown County Visitors Center, the Brown County Chamber of Commerce, and many hotels and businesses in Nashville. For additional information, call the Brown County Convention and Visitors Bureau at 812-988-7303 or 800-753-3255 or visit our website at <www.browncountystudiotour.com>.
