About
Camp Bowie Memorial Park, 2710 Crockett Dr, Brownwood, TX 76801, USA Get directions
Camp Bowie Memorial Park sits on the site of a World War I-era training cantonment where thousands of soldiers prepared for deployment between 1917 and 1919, and today visitors can explore replicas of period military structures alongside walking trails and interpretive displays that tell the story of this once-bustling base. The park offers a quiet, contemplative space where the plains landscape meets local military history, making it a meaningful stop for anyone interested in Texas's role in the Great War.
