Brandy Bee Rose: This is my favorite place in all of Brownwood. It is the most underrated attraction we have - right in our own backyard.
I’ve worked here and visited dozens of times, and I still never get tired of it. There’s always something new to learn or investigate about the fascinating story of the past.
Brown County history is Texas History. It’s a progression through time from learning about the ancient ways of primitive peoples to the advances of medicine, agriculture, business, education, and more. There are specific exhibits to the county - featuring familiar local names and faces - but you’ll also see the impacts of war and technology that impacted the entire nation, and the world.
The kids absolutely love it. In this day and age where every kid thing is brightly colored, they love to be able to see, touch, and experience real things. There is a lot of interactivity in the museum and they will leave wanting to come back for more.
I encourage anyone to follow their Facebook and visit during their regular hours or during a special event. You WILL NOT be disappointed!
They also have a $50 annual pass for families.
Barry & Kelli Jo Gurley: A beautiful park with nice hiking trails and very peaceful. The swimming area is good as far as lake swimming goes. We stayed in Council Bluff which has full hookups which is nice. Some of the sites won’t accommodate larger fifth wheel trailers though so choose your site carefully.
Gayathri Iyer: It was one of the best experiences ever. We really loved it. It is worth the drive and visit. They have a very fun train ride that even adults can sit. It’s free and they take us around 6 or 7 times. It’s such a fun experience and brought the kid back in me. My husband enjoyed it a lot of too.
Inside they have two model trains that you can go inside and take a look. You can also go into the building where they give you free coffee, have a cute coffee shop and also they have so many model trains. Their set up is so beautiful. The people are also so friendly and hospitable and very knowledgeable. They showed us how they set it up and also different sizes of model trains that were available. Some are so tiny.
We would definitely be back soon to see what else they have. If you have kids I would definitely recommend you to take them here
JESSE LINDNER: There is a great deal of historical artifacts and information. The displays were well organized. The ladies who were there were friendly and were eager to share their knowledge of the items in the museum.
James Miller: Amazing collection! Passionate owners, with a wealth of knowledge and history. Unique bikes and artifacts that can’t be seen anywhere else. Highly recommend.
Reilly Becker: So so beautiful! Highly recommend this state park. Facilities are well kept. I have never seen park rangers monitor any better than here. I liked camping here so much I’d come back! We even saw beautiful wildlife (fox, turtles, deer, cats, and birds) and tons of wildflowers (we came mid-May). I love that it is entirely dog friendly (even swimming areas and all trails). Come to Inks!
Charlene Perez: Really enjoyed our visit to Longhorn State Cavern! The cavern is beautiful and our tour guide, Jim, was phenomenal! He kept everyone engaged and was extremely knowledgable! You can visit without booking a tour, but I highly recommend doing the tour. There are a few trails and all were beautifully maintained, marked and easy to follow. The visitor center was also phenomenal and offered a variety of gifts for purchase! They also had pizza, pretzels and other snacks available. There is also an area behind the visitor center with picnic tables that is perfect to do some bird watching! We were able to see cardinals!
