The Stillman House Museum is dedicated to Charles Stillman, the man who selected the name for Brownsville. During the Mexican-American War, Stillman and some of his partners transported U.S. troops and supplies to Mexico's interior. After the war, Charles Stillman and his partners began to acquire land, which today is known as Brownsville. During the Civil War, Stillman sold cotton to the Union, the Confederacy and the U.S. Government. By 1865, he became one of the wealthiest men living in America. He invested a lot of his wealth into banks. After making his fortune, he moved to New York.
