The Town of Nashville.

Nashville was the county seat of Brown County, Indiana, where Baumann first vacationed in 1910. Located approximately 230 miles south of Chicago, it was very rural even in the early 20th-century. Nashville did not receive electricity until the mid-1910s. Baumann was among a group of artists who vacationed and worked in Brown County. They are sometimes referred to as The Hoosier Group of artists. Acton 12.
