Chappell Hill Historical Society Museum - Taken with my S10 :)

Chappell Hill Historical Society Museum

(12 reviews)

2021 April Soooo not really a business, but worth a mention!…read moreChappell hill bluebonnet festival!! Perfect weather...perfect place!! Once a year, Along the streets of the small city of chapel hill...is a cozy little area to look at booth after booth after booth of crafts, foods, hot sauces, and other homemade goodies!! the people are extremely polite and fun to talk to...alcohol is located throughout the area with a few scattered ATM machines. Free to get in, you can spend a few hours out there....live music and good times!! Love it

Review #3 - This festival is nothing less than Texas AWESOME! My mom would bring us here as kids…read moreand I loathed being drug here. However this was my first time back in probably over 20 year and they have TONS of things geared towards kids now. I'd be a happy kid! Anything under the sun "festival" will be found here. I was hoping to see more Bluebonnet art, but unlike 20 some odd years years ago it's more commercialized now, just think any festival you go to with "some" bluebonnet stuff mixed it. Home decor, yard art, Texas art, graphic tees, clothes, make your own potpourri, candles, jewelry, festival memorabilia,everything! And let's not forget about festival food! Lots of it! Adult beverages can be found everywhere. You can also get a glimpse into Chappell Hill history by going into the Historical Society building and other buildings along Main St. There is a kids section of carnival rides and face painting for those who have kids in tow. Parking as of this year is $5 and contrary to review number 1 - apparently they have it covered now because there were zero issues. Tip 1 - I would suggest arriving first thing in the morning to avoid any congestion. Tip 2 - There are TONS of yard art vendors. Shop around before you impulse buy. Several venders are much cheaper than the venders at the very start of the festival off Main and 290. Tip 3 - Some venders (not all) only take cash - so bring it! There is an ATM in the Historical Society building....unless they move it. Tip 4 - I laughed when I saw women toting around carts and wagons without kids. But I soon found that they were the smart ones! I bought so much cheap yard art that I could hardly carry it. Who's laughing now. Not me!! Lesson learned - bring something to carry your crap once you buy! You'll be happy you did! Enjoy!!!

George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum - Oval office copy

George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum

(134 reviews)

I've been to many museums through the years. This was my first visit to a presidential…read moremuseum/library, and it was spectacular. In addition to a 25-minute video production about the life of President George H.W. Bush (during which I shed a tear), there are more artifacts here than you can shake a stick at. The guides are quite friendly and knowledgeable, and they are prepared to answer questions. During my visit, there were several original artifacts on display, including FDR's speech on Dec. 8, 1941, and Elvis Presley's original enlistment documents. But those are traveling exhibits. There is plenty of Bush family memoriblia to quench your thirst for some up-close history.

I love visiting Presidential Libraries when I happen to be in the area. So far I have visited the…read moreones for Hoover (West Branch, IA), Johnson (Austin, Tx), Nixon (Yorba Linda, CA), Reagan (Simi Valley, CA), Truman (Independence MO), and now George H.W. Bush. I was in College Station over the weekend for a Texas A&M Class of 1980 Reunion, and part of the agenda was paying this place a visit. The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library complex, located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, includes the Presidential Library and Museum, the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. My visit included the main Museum, a separate building holding the very cool Union Pacific 4141 Engine and the Marine One Helicopter, and the graves of President Bush, his Wife Barbara, and their Daughter Robin. The later involves a pretty walk around a scenic pond (and rose garden area) and onwards to a gated plot within a quiet woodsy area. If Gayle is reading this, of course I also took a look through the gift shop at the end of my visit. I found the main museum to be nicely curated, in chronological order, and with lots of interesting things to learn and remember. I found that I needed at least a couple passes through to help layer my visit. Of particular note (besides the 4141 and Marine One) were exhibits noting the fall of the Berlin Wall, Camp David, the family boat (Fidelity), and the car that the Bush family drove out to Texas for the first time. There was also a special (and worth visiting) exhibit when I was there Music America: Iconic Objects From America's Music History. Also, please don't miss the 22 minute orientation video when you first start in. I found that it really helped set the stage for what was to come at this museum.

Japanese Garden - Squirrel

Peaceful, zen, bit of nature within the museum district's Herman Park…read more Parking was free since we went on a Sunday and we were able to find a very close spot within the lot. We want on a day with gorgeous weather, not too hot and plenty of sunshine. We saw squirrels, turtles coyfish and various birds. There was a decent crowd but we were able to move around easily and get some cute pics. This is a beautiful weather day must.

Here and there, I spotted a delicate cherry blossom and a few early blooms, though I wish I had visited at the peak of flower season. The garden itself is exquisitely designed and every corner seems crafted for peace, and I truly enjoyed the calm atmosphere. It felt like a small escape from the city hustle. That said, I did notice the cleanliness was a bit of an issue; the garden could definitely use some extra care to keep it pristine. Another small drawback was the restroom situation. There are only two available, and both were quite busy, so I ended up waiting a while and eventually decided it wasn't worth it. Still, the park draws a lovely crowd with people come to stroll, reflect, and soak in the beauty. If I'm in Houston again at a better time, I'll absolutely return to see the garden in full bloom. It has so much potential, and with a little more attention to detail, it could be a true hidden gem.

Tomball Railroad Depot Plaza - Tomball and Walden railway caboose from the outside

Tomball Railroad Depot Plaza

(8 reviews)

After a very sugary daddy date with my two youngest boys, we were wondering where we would head off…read moreto next. Then I remembered: there's a train depot out here in Tomball! Sure enough, I looked it up on my trusty Yelp app and found the Tomball Railroad Depot Plaza. I had thought it was connected to one of the local parks. Little did I know that their railroad depot is a small museum, and there is a red Caboose parked nearby from the Tomball and Walden Railway that houses a model railroad. Apparently, the Railroad Depot had been under renovation for several months, and we happened to come on the first day of its re-opening! The kiddos were so excited to se the trains in action! It had several 0 scale locomotives, including one from the 1950's. There are several scenes depicting the Tomball and Walden railway and also Tomball in the early 20th century. It was amazing to me how much time has been poured out on the maintenance of these trains. The volunteer dozier was incredibly enthusiastic about his trains. He also had a lot of knowledge about other model railroaders and train museums in the Houston area. One thing to note is that this caboose was equipped with a special air whistle in the rear, that was formed through the releasing of the air brake. We didn't get to go inside the Tomball Depot, but would really recommend it. They have done an incredible job in building out a new platform, updating the Depot with new wood exterior, and getting it to its former glory. Check it out! And prepare to pull out those model trains or Thomas trains after your visit.=)

The Tomball Railroad Depot Plaza was my favorite place I visited in town and 30 minutes or so well spent. A former railroad depot, there are some cool things to check out. There's a railway train and several statues all encompassed in a park. It's a pretty park with a water fountain and more. While it isn't large, it's a nice spot to take a stroll or play with your kids. There are also some restaurants within walking distance. Right across the street.
