NASHVILLE HOUSE continued from 28
As a loving tribute to parents Andy and Fran Rogers, and grandfather Jack Rogers, Andi, along with Lance and children Nolan and Ella, devoted the time afforded by the isolation in the early COVID pandemic to restore and update the Nashville House. A Brown County and family tradition lives on.
Kitchen facilities were updated and a patio added for outdoor seating and entertainment. During cold weather, the musicians perform inside at the loft. A full bar was added on top of the original candy counter. The restaurant and general store have the same big stone wood-burning fireplaces, but the upper loft was renovated for private dining. The loft can seat 25 guests and is an ideal choice for business meetings or family events like wedding rehearsal dinners or birthday suppers.
John Peters has been the general manager since February of 2020. Andi and Lance oversee the restaurant and are there every day. Very much part of the community like her parents, Andi has taught art for 18 years, with the last four years at Brown County High School. Lance has a fixed base operation in Seymour. This involves the maintenance and restoration of aircraft, flight instruction, and banner towing, as well as being a pilot for UPS.
The menu of scratch-made foods that the Nashville House is known for has been greatly expanded to include sandwiches, salads, entrees, and appetizers. The full bar, offering hand-crafted cocktails, wine, and craft beers, is named for the Indiana photographer Frank Hohenberger,.
The Nashville House will have a New Year’ s Eve dinner, and special dinners for Valentine’ s Day, Mother’ s and Father’ s Days.
