[7] Two properties in town are on the National Register of Historic Places: the Kahlert Mercantile Store, built in 1883, and the Church of St. Joseph, completed in 1909.
[8] Despite being a largely Irish-, German- and Polish-American area of the State, a Rusyn farming community was also formed during the early 20th century in Browerville, by recent immigrants who had migrated West from the industrial cities in Pennsylvania.
[9] In a 21 August 1912 open letter to the Amerikansky Russky Viestnik, the parishioners of Holy Trinity Greek Catholic Church in Browerville, known locally as "The Farmer's Church" and which was being served by visiting priests from St John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church in Minneapolis, announced that they had recently refused to surrender the parish and cemetery deeds to Pope Pius X's newly appointed Greek Catholic Bishop of the United States, Kyr Soter Ortynsky.
This was because the Byzantine Rite farmers of Browerville were Rusyns from Transcarpathia and members of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, and they accordingly viewed Bishop Soter, a member of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church from the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, as a foreigner.
They intended instead to wait for a Rusyn Bishop to also be assigned in North America before surrendering the deed.
In 1990, the Traditional Catholic Sisters of the Society of Saint Pius X purchased the former Browerville hospital, which has been in use ever since as their Novitiate.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.06 square miles (2.75 km2), all land.

Christ the King resulted in the combination of the two historical Roman Catholic parishes in Browerville: St. Joseph (Polish) and St. Peter (German).
Both pieces, found in the yard in front of the church, were sculpted by Browerville born Joseph Kiselewski in 1932.
