I flipped through to Indiana. Here's what it said. Yes, I agree with their conclusion on this town, but it's not as unknown as they suggested. We've been to Nashville, Indiana several times and it's got a lot of activity going on. Not as much as say, the Indianapolis 500 for sure, but it's not as "unknown" as suggested. In my opinion, there are dozens and dozens of little "unknown" towns and bergs in Indiana that are interesting, have lots of character and charm. Pendleton, Indiana (right near where I live is one of those spots.) Really nice city park with swimming pool (nice big one), walking trails, a small river/creek that runs through it, lots of little quaint shops down town. But there's no campgrounds in Pendleton, except a paid fishing hole that has cabins you can rent out a day at a time and do some tent camping on.
From the article though. Granted, Nashville, Indiana is a pretty nice little town though:
Indiana: Nashville
The town’s beauty and art are the primary bases for tourism in Nashville, Indiana. Nashville has all of three traffic lights and a population of 803, with most of its residents working as artists. Beyond the Brown County State Park, Nashville has wonderful bed and breakfasts, cottages, restaurants, art galleries, shops, music venues, and antiques dealers.

The didn't say "unknown" - they said "underrated". And picking Nashville, Indiana as an example of a "known" place seems like a stretch to me. Someone living in Indiana would probably recognize the name, but I'd never heard of Nashville, Indiana. It has a population of about 1,000. That's pretty small and that would generally make it obscure. Anyway, it looks like a nice place I might want to visit.
