The Brown County Museum of History, Inc., has the primary role of preserving the tangible evidence of our heritage and to educate the public through exhibition and interpretation of artifacts. The museum is located in the old four story Brown County Jail, built in 1902, and located at 212 North Broadway across the street from the Courthouse in downtown Brownwood. The Museum also has an "Annex" located just across the street from the jail at 209 North Broadway. There is no entrance fee but donations are accepted.
