Cities: Brownsville

Founded in the 1840's, Brownsville is a small town of 1,700 people located in the southern Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Downtown Brownsville is a wonderful collection of 1880's to 1920's buildings with many historic houses dating back to the 1850's. While conveniently located within 25 miles of Eugene, Albany, Corvallis, Sweet Home and Lebanon, Brownsville is relatively isolated and has maintained a true "small-town" feel which is hard to find today. The historic downtown shopping district with cafes and antique stores, as well as beautiful 26-acre Pioneer Park surrounded by the Calapooia River, are attractions which draw visitors from around the area and around the world. Brownsville is also the home of the Linn County Historical Museum and Moyer House, which provides a place for anyone to look up their genealogy of past relatives who lived in Linn County as well as historical memorabilia of the area. Events throughout the year draw visitors from around the state. We hope to see you soon!
