Brownwood Public Library's Local History and Genealogy Library - The Brownwood Public Library has made it easier for folks to do genealogy and historical research by opening the first ever "History and Genealogy Research Branch" of a public library.  By placing it across the street from the Brown County Courthouse and just two blocks from the Brown County Museum of History, it gives people an "all in one" place to do their research.
