Owner Ronna Harrison.
52 Our Brown County • Sept./ Oct. 2025
More than anything, Ronna Harrison wants visitors to the Nashville General Store and Bakery to feel right at home.
She and husband Jason feel so comfortable at the bright yellow downtown Nashville establishment that they sleep upstairs there several nights per week. Such are the lengthy, unscripted and unstructured hours of new ownership of a business that reopened in June 2024 after being closed for more than a year.
“ I wanted to save this place,” she said on a recent afternoon in the sunlit cafe area within the shop at 118 E. Washington St.“ This was my favorite store in Brown County …. I shopped here every visit. I bought home decor here. I even had a Nashville room in my house.”
