The employee was sure to tell me about how he worked on them and about the trains there. They also had some fancy china that was on board some of the trains. They had mockups of travel trunks, mini trains, and more. There is a platform you can look outside at the train tracks. The employee said that on the weekend, the trains outside on the main track might be running, but are hit or miss when coming by. They do have a couple of cars you can walk inside that have a recording telling you about them. You can even go down the way, and if you buy some tickets, you can ride the mini train. I had fun doing it, and kids will love it. It was fun. Parking was easy, too.

The docent let us know how to walk around to see the exhibits, and then the elderly woman employee walked us over to the jail to tour it. Unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't on, so I didn't last too long and didn't get to see the upper floor. It's a great deal to see both places for $5 per person. Parking is on the street.

For my husband and I it was 8 $ to go through both the museum and old jail. Staff was nice and…read morehappy to explain if you asked. Place was clean and very well organized and easy to follow. Loved the old cabins in the building. They do an excellent job of introducing you to local history. They had interactive stations for kids for Day of the Dead which was nice. We went because we wanted to see the old jail but I have to admit we really enjoyed the museum. As for the jail, how amazing of a building. It's worth the walk through. Peggy was our guide and she was very knowledgeable. For us the only limiting factor is that they are only open Thursday through Saturday. But I understand the reasoning. I just had to get creative with my schedule. I'm very glad I did.

In 1914 the Harvey House in Brownwood was added to the Santa Fe Depot and restored in the 1990's. The uniformed "Harvey Girls" would serve up to 700 people at once in the large dining rooms. They lived in the top floor of the building with a typical bedroom restored and on display. Tracks behind the structures are used today with freight and passengers passing through on a regular basis. It is free and I recommend a visit, very interesting.

Quick look rating: 5/5 Quality, 5/5 Experience, 5/5 Will I return…read more What a fun event, and a great event for families to attend! This event usually takes place in the first weekend in June of every year! The best rodeo that I have ever attended. Having attended rodeo's from Ft. Worth, Dallas and all over the southwest, those were more for the city folks, where this rodeo was built tough! Love the local folks as well, down to earth and not pretentious. *To note: Stay for the end! They normally end the rodeo end with the bull riding! You talk about rough! Someone riding a bull has my total respect! These folks are tougher than nails and not only do they stay in shape, but they study the behavior of these great animals that they ride, they have to know about them or they would be mud! Love the barrel ridding event as well as my second favorite event! These ladies know their horses and practice like you all get out! The barrel riding is where usually ladies ride their horse out circling three different barrels and back to their starting point and time is the factor! They have to spend time with their horse, big time! You can really tell, the folks that take care of their animals which I love! My hat's off to the rodeo clowns! Lot's of these folks are out there and get folks out of the way of trouble! My heart is with them! Taking care of these folks is a true blessing! The announcers are pretty funny as well! Always up beat and with a great since of humor! They are always directing you on where to point your attention. They play some great music to go along with the different events, like the individual bull rides! The folks that come out here are down to earth and great folks! Love the locals! You can't forget the roping's! There is some real talent out there! On the north side of the arena they will have the calf roping and my third favorite is the team roping! You have to have some real "All Stars" that can really rope to do this event! When done right, it may even jump up as my favorite event! You have to love the talent that these folks have and show to us folks! What a great value for us to come and see these events! My hats off to all of the folks that participate in this rodeo! This is so worth coming down and seeing this rodeo! I highly recommend this event!

What is so fun, is there is a local couple that have bought the place and are working on the place left and right! I love when local folks re-invest in their believes! Just like watching a great garden grow, you have to keep an eye on this place! The golf course is still fantastic with small improvements that have gone under hidden ways! The pool and children's pool has improved beyond belief! The menu and dishes keep being improved! The service is still top notch, very quick and very attentive with out over doing it! The new tennis courts are a great touch! To the sweet couple that bought the place and are putting your heart into this place, my hat's off to you both! Keep on doing what you're doing, it's rally working! Keep up the great work! All I can say is WOW!
