Brown County Museum of History Inc
The museum features exhibits from over 150 years of Brown County history, from the Penateka Comanche and the earliest Texan settlers to the WWII-era Camp Bowie military collection and modern soil and grass conservation at the Colonel Burns Ranch. Kids love the children's area and the miniature Birdsong Circus. After browsing the rich history of Brown County, guests will enjoy a guided tour of the old jail across the street and be transported back in time to see glimpses of what life was like as a Brown County sheriff... or as an inmate.
