Brownwood Public Library has made it easier for folks to do genealogy and
historical research by opening the first ever "Local History & Genealogy
Library" 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.
You will find friendly librarians and volunteers on duty to assist you
in your research.

branch library has all the books, microfilm and computers needed to chase
down that bit of history on an ancestor you are looking for. This
