Four generations on Washington Street

The Nashville Mercantile Store has been a fixture of downtown Nashville, Indiana since 1972 — four generations of the same family, still female-owned and operated.

In the heart of Brown County's arts-colony downtown, it's the kind of shop where you come in for one thing and leave with something you weren't looking for. Unique gifts for unique people, as we've always said.
