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 Bailey/Reeve Archives at our Society building and present a monthly program on local history.

Plans for the new History Center adjacent to the Pioneer Village provide for additional museum space for non-pioneer exhibits, a large meeting/community room, a bright and open learning center, and an expanded storage and reading area for the archived records. The Society's collection of records and artifacts will be better preserved in secure, climate-controlled areas where they can be readily accessed and that will allow room for the ever-expanding collection. Included in the plan is sufficient parking, Brown County appropriate landscaping and an expansion of the Pioneer Village to possibly include a schoolhouse, church and an example of the orchard sheds that once were so common in the county. We foresee these areas being used for classes, demonstrations of pioneer skills and arts, and possibly a farmer's market, as well as for membership meetings, genealogical and historical research.
