Texas tourism: Brownwood, TX
Working with Texas Highways these last few years has really made me fall in love with Texas. There are so many small towns, big cities, state parks, and back roads to explore. History and charm await you, and probably within 50 miles of where you’re sitting right now. If you’re in Texas, of course.
A couple years ago I covered Brownwood, Tx for Texas Highways. It was a feature about small towns of Texas off the beaten track. I fell in love with this up and coming charmer of a small town. Its LOADED with interesting history that its residents and shop keeps are eager to share with you. The community is welcoming and kind, you couldn’t ask for anything more. There is plenty to do for a full weekend stay. And plenty of news hotels and motels and soon to be one more!
Fast forward 2 years; Foundtx, an ad agency in Austin, has dedicated their talents to bringing these small towns to the fore. We connected last summer and in September I got to head back out to explore, again, this adorable town I LOVE so much.

Intermission Books is the best place in town to take a pause and take it in. The shop is cozy, it has that old book smell (a good one) and it’s an instagrammers dream. Owner Kim Bruton has extensive knowledge about the building’s history. Be sure to ask her about it. You’ll need to pop in before noon, she also owns the Runaway Train Cafe and she works lunch.

Stone’s Grove is a great spot to meet the ladies and sip craft cocktails.
