Travel Guide

Brownwood Texas Aerial
This vaudeville-era theater first opened in 1914 in the Central Texas town of Brownwood. Although designed and operated as a performance space, like many small theaters, it was transitioned into a cinema in the 1920's. Brownwood was home to the US Army's Camp Bowie during WWII. During the late 30's and early 40's downtown Brownwood's population grew to 100,000 and had 7 cinemas operating at full tilt. As the war ended many of those closed and even the venerable Lyric was converted into a clothing store. A century after its original opening, the Lyric is once again a home for the performing arts in Brownwood. A herculean restoration effort has restored the theater to its original glory and then some with the addition of modern staging, lighting and sound. Today live theater, musical acts and film once again grace this historic proscenium. #LocalGem #theater #cinema #WeekendGetaway www.brownwoodlyrictheater.com
It would be neat to explain the history of this place, it’s origin or any background for that matter. But I could not find anything. We stumbled upon these two small doors in a dead end alley.
A local staple...
Summer sunsets at Lake Brownwood, Texas, never grow old.

The room was great for our one night stay. The bed was very comfortable. The bath was clean but very small. The hairdryer had a sticky handle.
