The arts

“Eos” by Dessa Kirk is a winged sculpture in the Fifth Street median facing Mill Race Park.

The arts play a big role in the life of Columbus, from classical music to interpretive dance to good old rock ’n’ roll. The Columbus Area Arts Council is a private, nonprofit organization that promotes the arts in and around Columbus. It produces arts programming for all ages throughout the year, including Neighborfest, First Fridays for Families and an open iron pour. The arts council also brings public art to Columbus through the Sculpture Biennial. Information: www.artsincolumbus. org. Columbus has two symphony orchestras. Columbus Indiana Philharmonic, under the direction of conductor David Bowden, often hosts prestigious guests at its concerts. It also invests heavily in education programs, such as a children’s choir and a strings camp. The philharmonic was launched in 1987 with financial support

from local businesses and foundations, support which continues to help the orchestra thrive today. Columbus Symphony Orchestra is the oldest orchestra in the state, having given its first concert at the Crump Theatre in May 1923. However, the oldest musical group in the city is Columbus City Band, in existence since 1843. Today’s City Band has a repertoire that’s a mix of classical fare and pops material. All three organizations present glorious Christmas concerts every December. Dance is an art form well-represented in this area. Dancers Studio teaches ballet, modern dance and other dance forms. Its annual performance of “The Nutcracker” is one of the holiday season’s most anticipated events. Columbus is home to a number of talented painters, sculptors and other visual artists. Works of local

artists can be seen and purchased at places such as Stillframes Gallery on Brown Street and the Phi Gallery at Hotel Indigo, also on Brown Street. If you’re interested in taking in a movie, you have your choice between Hollywood’s latest offerings, which are shown on the 12 screens at AMC Showplace Theatre on Creekview Drive or the more specialized fare at Yes Cinema downtown. Yes Cinema brings in the kinds of films that are conducive to long discussions about their themes and significance afterward at the nearby cafes and restaurants downtown. It also offers special performances, such as live comedy on occasion. An abundance of live music encompassing genres such as singersongwriter, blues, jazz, rock and country can be heard at several area venues.

Last summer, Columbus became home to several new sculptures as the Columbus Area Arts Council presented the 2014 Columbus Indiana Sculpture Biennial. The biennial builds off the 2006 Columbus Sculpture Invitational, which featured 15 large-scale sculptures on exhibit for two years around downtown, though a few have earned a permanent home in the city.

300 Washington St.

Bernar Venet’s 2 Arcs de 212.5° — also known as the “Red C” — is typical of his minimalist work in steel. Seemingly precariously balanced, this work reflects his love of mathematics and his habit of investigating material, form, balance and spatial perception. “Ancestral Way”

Third Street between Jackson and Lindsey streets

Robert Pulley’s 11 organic forms appear to march in procession along the hillside as visitors exit the city. The hand-built stoneware fired ceramic sculptures combine references to the human figure with organic and geologic forms. Bartholomew County Memorial for Veterans

Courthouse lawn

Twenty-five limestone pillars, each 40 feet high, comprise the Bartholomew County Memorial for Veterans. Engraved on the columns are the names of those who gave their lives, along with excerpts from selected correspondence. Though large, the piece offers a meditative and intimate experience from the letters to and from the soldiers. It was designed by Thompson and Rose Architects and received the 1996 Boston Soci-

ety of Architects Unbuilt Architecture Design Award. “C” — Wall Hanging Interior of City Hall

Robert Indiana’s C Wall Hanging is indicative of his pop art pieces. It uses distinctive imagery in what he calls “sculptural poems.” The bold, simple representation melds the trendy with the philosophical and centers on one basic focal point, in this case, the C. Radiating are bold rays of color, and the piece is anchored by a composite of the unique Columbus skyline. “Celebration”

Foundation for Youth

This whimsical piece features children in flight. Gary Price created the work, which is visible inside the lobby of Foundation for Youth. “Chaos I”

“Crack the Whip”

Corner of Brown Street and the Second Street Bridge

Jo Saylors sculpted this 4-foottall bronze of four children playing a game. The piece is meticulous in detail. “Daquqi”

Robert Garton Plaza Second Street

Nine-ton “Daquqi” takes its name from a Rumi poem. The piece is made of concrete and stainless steel, and the stainless steel has been ground with circular patterns by the artist. “Decathexis” One of the sculptures in the 2014 Sculpture Biennial. This piece created by Anthony Heinz May is located on the front lawn of Columbus City Hall.

The Commons 300 Washington St.

“Discovery”

Sculptor Jean Tinguely is known for his kinetic or moving sculptures. One of those is “Chaos I.” Tinguely used locally obtained materials, and under his supervision, local crafts people helped to build the sculpture. The work represents one of his main statements: “Life is movement.”

“Discovery” is a kugel (ball in German) sculpture that combines water and stone. Created by Kusser Granitwerke in Germany, the ball is 3 feet in diameter, carved from South African New Belfast black granite, and weighs over 2,000 pounds, but is kept in motion by 12 psi water pressure.

“Eos”

Fifth Street median between Brown and Lindsey streets

Created by artist Dessa Kirk. In Greek mythology the winged Eos was the goddess of the dawn and rose from her home at the edge of Oceanus, the Ocean, dispersed the mists of the night and opened the gates of heaven every day so her brother, Helios, the sun, could ride his chariot across the sky. Generally depicted as a supernaturally beautiful woman, her tears were considered to be the morning dew. “Eos” is one of the second generation of gods and goddesses in Greek mythology called the Titans.

“Ancestral Way”

“Large Arch”

Bartholomew County Public Library 536 Fifth St.

“Exploded Engine”

Cummins Corporate Headquarters 500 Jackson St.

The arch was created in 1971 by English Sculptor Henry Moore and is 20 feet tall, 12 feet wide and weighs 5½ tons. It was sandcast in bronze in 50 sections in West Germany. Moore was inspired by nature and created the centerpiece for the library plaza as a sculpture that could be walked through and around.

“Exploded Engine” by Rudolph de Harak elucidates and entertains. The diesel engine is the centerpiece of the museum at the Cummins Corporate Headquarters. Nearly every nut and bolt is deconstructed to its smallest detail and hangs in midair, suspended by floor-to-ceiling wires. “Flamenco” One of the sculptures in the 2014 Sculpture Biennial. Created by artist Ruth Aizuss Migdal in 2010 in Chicago. The abstract, painted steel sculpture represents a flamenco dancer and is displayed at the corner of Fourth and Washington streets. The red “Flamenco” is 11 feet tall, 6 feet deep and 9 feet wide and weighs 2,000 pounds. “Halcyon”

Columbus Regional Hospital 2400 17th St.

This limestone sculpture, by Indiana artist Todd Frahm, illustrates a dove emerging from the flood. The piece marks the aftermath of a devastating 2008 flood. It was dedicated to the caring staff, 22 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

physicians and volunteers who endured the flood and worked to restore the hospital to working order. “It’s All About Electricity” One of the sculptures in the 2014 Sculpture Biennial. Created by Richard Herzog and located on the western side of the courthouse, this sculpture is 15 feet tall, 10 feet wide and 8 feet deep and weighs 2,000 pounds. Made of steel with a rust finish, it depicts a tree upside down, with its roots pointing skyward.

“Modern Totem” Columbus sculptor Martin Beach created the 8,000-pound piece from mesabi black granite. The sculpture, located between the library and the Visitors Center, is an obelisk form consisting of two stacked, black granite stones, creating a modern and minimal interpretation of a totem, an ancient symbol of community, gathering and family. “Nexus” One of the sculptures in the 2014 Sculpture Biennial. Created by Sam Spiczka, it is constructed of Cor-ten, stainless steel and wood, and sits at the southwest corner of 11th and Jackson streets. Spiczka’s work is inspired by natural bone

IUCA+D

An exhibit at the Indiana University Center for Art and Design. | photo by Carla Clark

The Indiana University Center for Art and Design opened in 2011 as a joint effort of Indiana University in Bloomington, Columbus’ Community Education Coalition and the community of Columbus to teach design in its broadest application and extend it into many disciplines. While IUCA+D is not in itself a school, it operates as an off-site extension for other schools. With Columbus as a living laboratory, those who want to study various design disciplines are drawn to the offerings of IUCA+D. Located downtown at the northwest corner of Jackson and Third streets, this 7,000-square-foot facility holds a studio, a classroom and exhibition gallery. The gallery houses the work of three to five different artists each year and is available for public viewing. Director and professor Kelly Wilson said the essence of IUCA+D is a recognition that all forms of

24 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

design share common ingredients. The purpose is to bring a connection between the design forms in a “radical program that makes no distinction between artist and designer.” With hopes to “relocate design from the periphery to the center of human experience,” IUCA+D strives also to embrace civic consciousness. This partnership between the community and design is a welcome union in a city that celebrates art in many forms and is recognized nationwide for its architectural significance. Funding for IUCA+D came as $2.3 million in public and private funds over the first five years as the facility began, and operational expenses are paid by Indiana University. Both accredited classes and non-accredited courses are available, including introductory classes for high school students.

Miller House and Garden

Photo courtesy of the Indianapolis Museum of Art

The public now has the chance to visit the former home of the late J. Irwin and Xenia Miller, one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most highly regarded examples of mid-century Modernist residences. In 2009, members of the Miller family donated the Highland Way house and gardens, along with many of the original furnishings, to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The IMA, working with the Columbus Area Visitors Center, offers public guided tours of the house and gardens. Tour schedules and tickets are available online at columbus.in.us or imamuseum.org. Cost for the tour is $20, and all tours originate at the Visitors Center. Commissioned in 1952, the Miller house was de-

signed by Eero Saarinen, with interiors by Alexander Girard and landscape design by Daniel Urban Kiley. In 2000, the property was designated a National Historic Landmark, the first listed with a still-living landscape architect that also was still occupied by its original owners at the date of its designation. The house features an open and flowing layout, flat roof and vast stone and glass walls. The rooms, configured beneath a grid pattern of skylights supported by cruciform steel columns, are filled with strong colors and playful patterns. Amid the residenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large geometric gardens, its grandest feature is a path lined by honey locust trees that runs along the west side of the house.

Architecture on display The city’s architectural adventure began with First Christian Church, which Eliel Saarinen, a Finnish architect, designed at the request of the congregation. Completed in 1942, it anchors a city block. Its tower, different from the traditional steeples of religious buildings, is visible throughout downtown. The notion that a small town could be home to architecturally significant buildings was not lost on community leaders. Through the Cummins Engine Foundation, and leadership of J. Irwin Miller, an offer was made to pay the architectural fees for the design of a much-needed public school. Later, the offer was extended for all public buildings if the architects were selected from a foundation list. Today there are more than 60 public and private buildings designed by notable architects. Columbus is one of six cities in the United States to have such a significant concentration of buildings by prominent architects. Other cities with the distinction are Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago and San Francisco. In 1994 the city was selected as the site of the Pritzker Architecture Prize award ceremony. Among the notable structures are Bartholomew County Public Library, by I. M. Pei (1969); Cummins Irwin Office Building, Eero Saarinen (1954); Clifty Creek Elementary School, Richard Meier (1982); The Republic, Myron Goldsmith of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (1971); St. Peter’s Lutheran Church (1988) and Columbus Signature Academy Lincoln Campus (1967), both by Gunnar Birkerts. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, with a copper-clad roof, has a 186-foot steeple. Another famous spire on the horizon is that of North Christian Church. That building, designed by Eliel Saarinen’s son, Eero, has a 192-foot spire, the tallest in the city. Many of the well-known buildings are in the downtown area, mixed with historic structures from Columbus’ early years. The shops along the city’s main street — Washington Street — have been restored or maintained to keep their historical perspective. The courthouse, built in 1874, anchors the southern edge of downtown. Next to it is a limestone monument to Bartholomew County veterans who died serving their country. The old blends with the new as life moves on. It’s not only the buildings that make up the interesting Columbus streetscape. Mill Race Park, built along a flood plain, was designed to withstand the flooding that can occur

To the casual observer, Columbus might seem an unlikely place for architectural masterpieces. Situated in southern Indiana, divided by rivers and creeks, the city rises from the prairie like corn in surrounding fields.

Across the street, Cummins Inc. occupies a three-block complex. The Fortune 500 company is the city’s No. 1 employer and its Corporate Office Building one of the city’s architectural highlights. Fine lines, cornice stones and creative vision make Columbus what it is today.

36 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

As usual for Columbus buildings, the Bartholomew County Public Library is architecturally unique. The New York firm of I.M. Pei and Partners, Architects, designed the building, which was dedicated May 16, 1971.

Library services

A wide range of materials, services, informational and entertainment programs and facilities is available for Bartholomew County residents. Fiction and nonfiction books, current and back issues of magazines and newspapers, audiobooks, music CDs and DVDs for all ages are included in the library collection. Downloadable e-books, audiobooks, and e-music are available via the library website (www/barth.lib.in.us). A number of databases on the website provide always-available reference services. Other services include in-person reference help, public computers for all ages, wireless Internet access, Indiana Room, programming for all ages, reading clubs for all ages and interlibrary loan. Meeting facilities for community groups include a large multipurpose room accommodating 150 people and three small meeting rooms. Information: 379-1255.

Bartholomew County Public Library, designed by I.M. Pei, is a sculptured brick pavilion formalized by the east and west walls and cornice. The design brings daylight to the lower level. An integral concrete coffer slab and brick bearing wall construction are the main features of the design. The landscaping features trees, surrounded by brick and concrete, in a courtyard. The view of the First Christian Church campanile has been retained, and the open space of the immediate library area contrasts with nearby tree-lined streets. Pei is the recipient of many awards for outstanding achievements in architectural design, including the 2010 Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects. His concern for the integrity of materials, his attention to the details of form, color and texture, and his awareness of spatial relationships are reflected in his designs. Henry Moore’s “Large Arch” sculpture was installed on the library plaza on April 15, 1971. The sculpture is a focal point to control the space of the plaza between the two architectural masses presented by the library and the Eliel Saarinendesigned First Christian Church. The natural organic quality of the sculpture, similar to rocks and bones, is in contrast to the stark geometric shapes of the buildings around the plaza. The arch is 20½ feet tall, 12 feet wide and weighs 5½ tons. It is sand-cast of bronze. The recently renovated library plaza now includes “Modern Totem,” a Martin Beach sculpture commissioned by Columbus Area Arts Council and Columbus Museum of Art and Design. The sculpture is part of the connection between the plaza and the Visitors Center.

The Commons

38 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

The rebirth of The Commons perfectly embodies the overall renaissance of downtown Columbus. In name and location, The Commons has been a fixture in the heart of the business and entertainment district since 1972. Completely rebuilt in 2011, it serves its function as a community hub in a manner fitting for a new century. The ground floor houses the lobby, 8,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a children’s playground and a food court. A performance space and patio are situated on the upper level. The centerpiece of the lobby is “Chaos I,” a mechanical sculpture designed by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely that had been an inescapable presence in the old Commons since 1974. While its various movements are an endless source of fascination, it can easily be turned off during performances or meetings. The playground’s most visually arresting feature is the Luckey Climber. This net-enclosed biomorphic climbing system was designed by Tom Luckey and his son, Spencer, a Connecticut-based team that has installed such structures in various U.S. cities and Mexico City. Those who scale its full height of 44 feet have a panoramic view of the rest of the playground, the lobby and the courthouse. The performance space seats up to 450 at tables for banquets or 700 in a theater-style arrangement. The stage boasts an impressive lighting system. Behind it are dressing rooms and a catering kitchen. A smaller stage on the lower level, behind “Chaos,” is suited to meetings or a lunchtime music series. The Columbus Area Arts Council has its offices in The Commons. Among the annual events at The Commons are First Fridays for Families and the prom for Columbus East and North high schools. The building is certified to a silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, level by the U.S. Green Building Council. The roof, designed by Michiganbased Live Roof, is covered with vegetative material that provides insulation and storm water absorption. Trees are featured on the patio designed to invite informal socializing in keeping with the entire facility’s intended role as a central gathering spot for the city. Koetter Kim of Boston is the design architect, and CSO Architects of Indianapolis is the architect of record. Three sides are enclosed in glass, and over 15 types of glass were used.

kidscommons

Above: Kids can be architects, urban designers and builders of their own cities thanks to the City by Design exhibit at kidscommons. Opposite page left: The new Gateway Bridge laser harp attracts attention. Opposite page right: The climbing wall challenges young adventurers.

Kidscommons children’s museum, at 309 Washington St., is like a sundae with whipped cream, sprinkles, a cherry and about 100 kinds of nuts. The door opens, and visitors are greeted by an experience that makes up kidscommons’ overall feel. Like Neapolitan ice cream, it has colorful splashes in every direction. A large banner says: “Explore, be adventurous, the world is waiting.” The facility has three floors, arranged in a way that makes one blend into the next. All are accessible for the disabled via ramps and an elevator. The first floor is the whipped cream, the first of three toppings for the sundae. In City by Design kids are the architect, urban designer and builder of their own city of the future. Using the Urban Planning puzzle, mind mapping idea board and unique creative manipulatives, guests will build arches, bridges and spires for the city 40 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

they design. Other first-floor exhibits include a children’s art studio, a tiny Japanese house, the Early Childhood Garden, a NASA-designed robotic arm and a laser harp. Children can create art with paper, recycled materials and other tools in a junior version of a professional studio. The Japanese House has the duplicated facade of a Japanese home, complete with a kotatsu table and pillows on the floor in the tatami room, Japanese play food, geta sandals and happi coats for hours of pretend play. The Early Childhood Garden offers a multisensory environment with a hollow “reading tree,” a bridge over a creek painted on the floor, a little camper to climb inside and a painted pond where toddlers can play. CreekLab is a creek replica that mimics a riffle and pool stream habitat. All of the aquatic life such as fish,

invertebrates, plants and algae were collected from local streams. The second floor makes up the sprinkles of our multilayer sundae. It includes a climbing wall, Bubblology and ExploraHouse. The 17-foot climbing wall is accessible to those with disabilities and duplicates the museum’s facade. Bubblology lets children see the world from inside a bubble. ExploraHouse shows them what’s behind the walls of a house and lets them slide down a giant toilet. No sundae would be complete without a sprinkling of nuts and a decorative cherry on top. On the third floor, Kids on the Move encourages healthy life choices through exercise and diet. Exhibit components include a child-size grocery store, Dance! Dance! Dance! Hoop It Up and a Lightspace Play Wall. And the cherry on top is that kidscommons is available for birthday parties and after-hours rentals. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Kidscommons is also open on Mondays for summer break and some holidays. Admission is $6 a person. The climbing wall is $3 plus admission. A 10-visit pass is available for $40. Annual memberships and grandparent memberships are also available.

Columbus, long known for its architecture, is often referred to as the “Athens of the Prairie.” Perhaps, thanks to its extensive People Trails system, Columbus could also be called the “Athens of the Trail System.” Following a 1983 master plan update, a committee formed with the purpose of creating a trail system for walkers, runners and bikers around the community. The first section, stretching from Lincoln Park to Donner Park along 19th Street, opened in 1987, and the system has grown slowly but steadily over the years. The Columbus Parks and Recreation Department works to make each trail section universally usable. The department also attempts to preserve as many trees as possible, which allows for many scenic and peaceful miles of paved trails. Visiting trail-goers have plenty to see as they stroll, jog or ride through city neighborhoods and parks. The trails also pass close to two creeks, three rivers, plenty of grassy areas and farmland. However, the more than 20 miles of organized trails are not only open to bicyclists, walkers and runners. These people-friendly pathways are actually open to anything peoplepowered, which includes skateboards, unicycles and in-line skates. Also, when the People Trails were developed, those with physical challenges were taken into consideration. Wheelchairs, both motorized and hand-powered, are always welcome. If you come to visit and enjoy the People Trails, rest assured that Rover or Spot is welcome to tag along but that horses, cars and motorcycles are prohibited. photo by april knox

Mill Race Park

The covered bridge in Mill Race Park

56 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

In 1963, the acreage known as “Death Valley” on the east bank of White River was considered one of the most poverty-stricken areas in Columbus. Now, as Mill Race Park, it hosts Columbus’ favorite events, attracting throngs of people. The tract contained the Death Valley urban renewal area, the former W.W. Mooney tannery site and woods and farmland near where the East Fork of White River is formed. Prior to the 1960s, people lived along the river in shacks made of tar paper and wood scraps. The spring rains flooded the land, leaving a muddy residue on a blighted landscape. City leaders began a fund drive in 1963 to raise $145,000 to purchase 66 acres from the residents for the park, pay for limited development and hire a park planner. By the fall of 1964, city workers had cut a roadway into the woods near the river and gravel pits. They also cleared the underbrush. Residents raised $18,500 by June 1966 to move the Clifty Creek covered bridge from Azalia Road to Mill Race Park. Otherwise, the bridge would have been destroyed to make way for a concrete bridge. A two-car, 20-passenger steam-powered train copied after the General of Civil War fame was dedicated in 1967 as a tourist attraction. But the train cars suffered technical problems and sagging interest by the public. In 1969, the city built an outdoor theater west of the former tannery site near Lindsey Street. However, the pole building was damaged by wind six years later. Artist Richard Bauer’s 15-foot-tall welded steel sculpture, Skopos, meaning “the watcher,” guarded the park’s entrance. It was dedicated in September 1979. Two shelter houses, a boat ramp and a playground with swings were also added to the park during that time. While looking forward to the quincentennial anniversary in 1992 of Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the New World, the town searched for a project that would continue to benefit the community long after the celebration. Residents found that an important dream, the park at Fifth and Lindsey streets, had been partially realized almost 30 years before. They decided to continue the development of Mill Race Park, a resource that could be greatly enhanced. Foundations, companies and individuals agreed to take part and eventually pledged nearly $4 million to build structures and redesign the landscape. Landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh incorporated the beauty of the riverfront and the park’s proximity to the heart of the city in the design. He made the site a water-dominated landscape by celebrating its proximity to the rivers. A round lake was excavated, with the soil creating mounds similar to those made by American Indians in southern Indiana. Plants that tolerate flooding were selected. Spaces were designed to accommodate lunch time visitors or a class that comes to the park to study flora. The Custer-Nugent Amphitheater was constructed and today hosts many musical and theatrical events during the warmer months. The renovated Mill Race Park opened in October 1992.

Mill Race Center Mill Race Center is a community center and programming agency for the 50-plus population in Bartholomew County; which offers a comprehensive collection of services and activities for this demographic under one roof. The facility itself, yet another architectural gem in the city’s crown, is situated in Mill Race Park, arguably the most scenic spot in the community. The center’s 24,700 square feet houses a multipurpose space, lounge, patio, woodworking shop, computer lab, arts room, fitness center, catering kitchen, billiards area, a therapy and wellness area run by Columbus Regional Hospital and space for Just Friends Adult Day Services. From any of the ample windows throughout the building, but particularly those in the multipurpose space, the view is that of south-central Indiana’s natural beauty. Mill Race Center Inc. has organizational roots going back to 1956. Its previous home was a turnof-the-century power station just south of Mill Race Park. In the spacious, natural-light-filled entrance lobby, visitors are greeted by a receptionist and a Mill Race Center volunteer ambassador. To the right are offices for such functions as travel, program coordination, resource development, marketing and operations. To the left are the arts room, the therapy and wellness area, and the fitness center. The therapy and wellness area is staffed by experts in physical therapy and occupational therapy from Columbus Regional Health’s Rehabilitation Center. Mill Race Center membership is not required to make an appointment. The equipment in the fitness center rivals that in any of the city’s gyms. It is considered part of the therapy and wellness area but is available to center members at a discounted fee. Bringing previously off-site programs and partner organizations into the center is a major objective of the staff and board. Just Friends, which caters to a clientele that might otherwise have to consider institutional living, is housed at Mill Race, allowing its clients to participate in center activities with proper accompaniment by Just Friends staff. 58 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Summer 2015

Senior Products, the production-and-distribution arm of Mill Race Center, also uses the facility. Mill Race Center’s hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. Fitness Center hours are 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday. On weekends, the various areas of the Center are available for rent for weddings, organizational meetings and other such events.

Brown County Brown County is visited each year by thousands of people who are eager to stay at rustic hotels, bed and breakfast inns or cabins and campgrounds. A back-road tour will give the visitor a glimpse of what they’d like to do. See the T.C. Steele State Historic Site, the former residence of T.C. Steele, co-founder of the Brown County Art Colony. Travel down Salt Creek Road that winds by a creek and look for covered bridges and old churches. Brown County State Park is Indiana’s largest and mostvisited park. Yellowwood State Forest and the park offer many outdoor activities, including hiking, horseback riding, camping, swimming, picnicking, fishing and boating. Deer are often visible. Salt Creek Golf Club is adjacent to the park. Golf Club of Brown County is on Country Club Road. Antique shops, flea markets, art and craft and specialty shops delight shoppers while art galleries attract those looking for a special painting. In Nashville, visitors can see a pioneer village with original buildings or enjoy a marionette performance and a play. Horse-drawn carriage rides and a replica steam engine

train ride offer a relaxing view of the town. Wine-tasting shops offer samples and bottles of their wares. Information: Brown County Convention and Visitors Bureau, (800) 753-3255 or www.browncounty.com Brown County’s past Brown County is a unique area of the Midwest with a personality all its own. From rugged beginnings, the people and their way of life have contributed to the individual character and charm of the southern Indiana resort area. In 1809, the land that was to become Brown County was acquired from the native people by the United States government. Pioneers in ox-drawn wagons settled the region. Encountering bears, panthers and wolves along the way, they followed narrow trails through the dense Indiana wilderness. In 1836, Brown County was officially allocated and named after Maj. Gen. Jacob Brown, a hero in the War of 1812. At this time, the county seat, Nashville, was a cluster of log cabins with 75 residents. A log courthouse and jail were added where the current courthouse and jail stand. By 1890, Brown County boasted a population of 10,308 people.

During the growth of Brown County, the lumber industry and farmers cut away so many trees on hillsides that the county suffered devastating erosion. Many people moved away. In 1930, only 5,168 residents remained. The pioneer way of life in Brown County continued long after other counties had adopted a more contemporary style of living. Not until 1980 would Brown County recover and surpass the 1890 population. During the 1900s, a colony of artists, including T.C. Steele, Adolph Shultz, Will Vauter, V.J. Cariani, Marie Goth, C. Curry Bohm and Dale Bessire were drawn to Nashville. An east-west road through the county, built in the 1920s, and the opening of Indiana 135 from Indianapolis in the 1930s led visitors to Brown County’s scenic beauty. The 1930s saw the establishment of the first of many art galleries and the opening of Brown County State Park. The history of this Southern Indiana region and its authentic antiquity combined with natural beauty make it the perfect setting for visitors to experience the atmosphere of a previous era. Nashville is known for its arts and crafts, but don’t forget to sample the wide selection of taste treats, too.
