Nashville is a town that I have visited a few times, and it's no surprise to me that it was named the coolest town in Indiana. Here's what Far & Wide says:

Plus it's not far from Brown County State Park, which is perfect for camping and more outdoor fun.

Oh, and if you are looking for great things to see and do in the Fall, Nashville and Brown County is the place to visit. It's absolutely beautiful that time of year. Brown County has been nicknamed the “Little Smokies” because of the area’s resemblance to the Great Smoky Mountains.

A majority of these towns were given their names in the mid-to-late 1800s as settlers making their way across the country found unclaimed plots of land and decided to make them their own.
