GNAW BONE TRADING continued from 34
emphasis on family entertainment, something both feel Brown County needs more of.
Jeff said the tree houses will consist of pre-built cabins placed 10 to 12 feet off the ground next to trees on the property, and finished off with decks, a porch swing, hammock and fire pit. He says it will allow guests to“ sleep in the leaves of Brown County,” rather than just view them.
He hopes to interest other local businesses in sponsoring holes on the miniature golf courses, and plans to replicate local landmarks as part of the overall structure of the courses.
Patty said another plan for Gnaw Bone Creek Trading Post is to create a small artist’ s village with perhaps a dozen cabins serving as studios around the edge of the parking lot, which the artists could purchase or lease.
A small park area, with swings and slides to entertain children, is also envisioned, Patty said, along with carriage rides.
Gnaw Bone Creek Trading Post is one of many new businesses which have opened in the Gnaw Bone area in recent years.
Realtor Tom Vornholt of Carpenter Hills O’ Brown Realty, said he expects the Gnaw Bone area will continue to grow, though perhaps at a slower pace. One of the advantages that area has is an established sewer system, which saves the cost of building individual septic systems.
Vornholt, a member of the county’ s Visitors and Convention Bureau’ s marketing committee and past president of the Brown County Economic Development Commission, said he feels the growth is a result of a need that has been there for some time, but has not been feasible previously. He says part of the reason for the area’ s growth is an active real estate market.
He also thinks economic activity will continue to expand between Nashville and Columbus, spurred in part by development Big Woods‘ Hard Truth Hills on the east side of Nashville. •
