Brown County Museum of History

Commemorating World War II we have an exhibit on Camp Bowie, the 36th Division and the community that rallied behind them. This was the largest training base it Texas during WWII.

First humans were the Plains Native Americans Exhibit with replica of a Comance Tipi and beautiful part of the exhibit of photos showing habitates like wolves, eagles and even buffalo.

Brown County has a rich heritage that had tough founding fathers that never gave up thoughout our history even when things were gloomy. 

Today, Brown County is a hub of economic miracles from 3M and Kohler Industries to the large Brownwood Regional Medical Center and Medical Area with almost every type of physician.

Children's hands-on area and special tours for school children throughout the year. Each month we dedicate one day to Children's Fun Day where they can make crafts and sometimes hear wonderful stories about our history.

We look forward to our 5 year plan to update our Museum and to welcoming many many visitors.
