    I would recommend driving out to the Waco, TX area and visiting Homestead Heritage at least once in your lifetime, if you are able to. Do you want the experience of a blast from the past? Then this is the place. There are exhibits and working shops of different tradespeople and their crafts, i.e., quilting, woodworking, leather, soap, cheese, etc. We came on a Saturday when they have an open market at the "Barn" (a big barn where all share their crafts and finished work for sale). It was a delightful experience. All provide friendly service and attention to detail. There is no cost to visit, but you may find their wares pricey. But you need to know that everything is handmade by experts in their craft. Their Homestead Heritage Cafe serves great coffee and is a delightful place to spend some time sipping a cup of coffee or tea. The Homestead Heritage Restaurant is worth the visit (make a reservation though as it fills up).

    Cornbread fritters. Excellent!

    Not our first experience, but first time in rebuilt cafe since the fire. Excellent way to spend a Saturday.

    Loved visiting this community. Everything was beautiful and well taken care of. The stores had interesting collections and beautiful hand crafts for sale. The weaving studio and woodworking shop were particularly beautiful and inspiring. The craftsmanship here is outstanding. I highly recommend a visit here if you appreciate old world crafts and artisans of any kind. The general store had lots of interesting and useful things for sale from kids toys and candles to water kefir culture, and beef tallow. On Saturdays they have a market with a petting zoo, pony rides and trail rides. You can take classes here to learn weaving or how to make you our own furniture. Everyone was very kind and gracious. It felt very peaceful on this property.

    We had a short staycation near our home in Waco. We chose an Airbnb that we thought looked quaint with beautiful scenery. It turns out to be on the heritage Homestead. We had a wonderful time. The area is peaceful and serene. Everyone that works there and lives. There were super helpful and inviting. The Airbnb had amazing views and was a great opportunity for relaxation. We ate at the waffle house there on site and appreciated the staff kindness as well as the fresh waffles toppings and options. I enjoyed a latte at the coffee house and again it was made to perfection. We also visited the cheese house and while staff was inviting, allowed us to try samples, and it was beautifully appointed, we were disappointed that they were out of many of the selections so we didn't get to purchase anything this time. We visited the general store and supermarket and both were fun experience. We've marked down the dates on our calendar for their Christmas event and plan on visiting during that time.

    The whole Homestead facility was beautiful. This was our second visit, and more buildings were open, but the friendly staff and experience were as expected. The food was awesome. Homemade ranch! They need to bottle this!

    I love this area, it's so cute ! It was such a pleasant stop with different themed buildings : weaving, gristmill, pottery, blacksmithing, woodwork, etc. It was like being on a educational field trip. They even have a highly rated restaurant on site - Cafe Homestead. You can easily spend over an hour or two here to explore each of the buildings and watch the demonstrations. You can also buy all the handmade goods made on site at the respective buildings or in the craft village building.

    Inside the Barn. Everything is handmade. Lots of neat stuff and great craftsmanship!

    Since my review is 8 years old, it's time to update. We've been here multiple times, but this is our first time during the fair. It's amazing! There are thousands of people here! In addition to the craft village, which is year round, the fair brings SO much more. The farm is 500 acres, so there's lots of room. There are hayrides and trail rides. The petting zoo was so cute! There is a huge craft tent for the kids where they can build all sorts of things. About 10 or 12 different food vendors. We enjoyed the Red Wagon BBQ! The craft pavilion shows off all the different things they make, and all are for sale. They do an old fashioned barn raising that you can participate in. The brand new Heritage Center is the location for the pie contest! In the afternoon, the kids choir is accompanied by the orchestra, and at night the adult choir is accompanied by the orchestra. Incredible entertainment! There are 19 different seminars you can attend. There's rope making, sheep shearing, sheep herding, broom making, cow milking, and the historical building tour. It's definitely a full day of entertainment. If you might be interested, check Homesteadfair.com. It's 3 weekends. You'll love it!

    See all

    It's really a nice peaceful place. I enjoyed the experience. Only down side is that most things are overpriced.
