The Armstrong Browning Library was delighted to welcome members of the Lakeside Browning Society today. Our guests were greeted by our curators and enjoyed a special tour of the library, followed by a luncheon and an opportunity to explore rare Browning materials. They also had the chance to discover materials celebrating the history and connections of Browning Societies around the world.
We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow Browning enthusiasts and share our love of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s enduring legacy! 💛📚

Last night, we celebrated 75 years of the Armstrong Browning Library & Museum in a truly magical way. ✨

An evening of music, poetry, art, fellowship, and celebration reminded us of the profound impact this beautiful place has had on the Baylor and Waco communities.
We like to think Dr. A.J. Armstrong would have been proud. Here’s to 75 years of inspiration—and many more to come.
