There was an entertaining puppet show with an overflowing crowd in a full tent. The main premise was a well ventilated house with multiple rooms. The house felt cool despite having no air conditioning. There was a small farm with an attractive turkey that turned heads of their visitors. Hens and cocks were also roaming alongside this turkey. I see a section for clothes drying on a line as well as a hut for various uses. It was a sustainable way of life with people dressed in period costumes and acting in various roles of a past life. Nice start to exploring Washington on the Brazos River.

There is a small cotton patch and a path that leads to the gin. You can peak in the see the "Lady B" engine.

The admission tickets are so cheap. There's a small gift shop as you enter and start your tour. The overall place isn't as big as you think, you can fly by everything without reading within 20-30mins, but if you wanna stop and read everything then prepare to be there for over an hour. There's a lot of awesome materials and display. I was also told that all the tanks on display are actually operational and every so often are driven outside during events. Definitely recommend to experience this with the family. Lots of cool souvenirs in the gift shop to take home. The staff member is super nice and informational. They give discount to current and former military. The parking is huge so you shouldn't have a problem finding a stall.

Let's talk about The Yard. I will start off by saying the pizza is beyond delicious. Delicious…read moreisn't even a good enough word to describe it. It is so delightful that it is making my mouth water just thinking about it. So fresh. That being said, understand that fresh pizza does take time to make. This ain't frozen, boxed up pizza that you pop in the oven and it's ready in 15 minutes. This pizza is made by hand. I actually saw them rolling the dough, and carefully adding the ingredients. Do not come here when you are already hangry, tapping your little foot, and rolling your eyes, ready to snap. Come here when you are not quite hungry yet, but "getting there." Come when you want to let your kids run around a little and play some ball with them while you wait for your pizza. Go to The Yard if you want to catch a sports game outside on their awesome porch and have a drink with friends while you wait for your freshly made pizza. This was my first time going with our friends (who are regulars), so I can only speak on one pizza: "LJ's Goes Yard" This pizza had brisket, mozzarella cheese , bbq sauce, and pickles. The brisket was flavorful and tender. The sweetness of the barbecue sauce paired nicely with the sourness of the pickles. The crust was perfect... just the right texture and not over cooked. I loved it! My only regret is that we got only one pizza. We are a family of 3, (2 adults and a toddler) but we can eat. Pro tip: get 2 pizzas. Worst case scenario: you take some home for later. I also want to mention that the environment was great. Plenty of space for kids to run. Very family friendly. Corn hole, a spot for kids to play baseball, plenty of baseballs (plastic so no worries about getting a black eye), bats, footballs, etc. Beer was cold, and they even brought some heaters out for the porch area so we could stay warm on a chilly Texas night. Staff was friendly! I Definitely recommend this place. I will be back to try some more pizza and possibly some of those pizza rolls I kept seeing them make by hand. #pizza #handmadepizza #smalltownlife #pizzalover #pizzatime #smallbusiness #brenham #brenhamtx #SupportSmallBusiness #familyfriendly #friends

May was our month to come together and celebrate family and food (lots of food) and get reacquainted. Unfortunately, for years, Henderson Park didn't receive the maintenance needed to make it plausible to continue having reunions here anymore, but I was shocked to see the upgrades to Henderson on a recent visit to Brenham. Lots of tlc has been poured into this park to revitalize it. In fact, I didn't even know how much history was apart of the park until I read the newly installed landmark signage that designates Henderson as a Lone Star Legacy Park, the highest honor that a park can receive according to the Texas Recreational and Parks Society. The designation was received in 2022, but the park is actually older than Fireman's Park across the street, which received the Lone Star Legacy Park honor in 2014. I'm just glad that this historical landmark has been restored and rejuvenated with a new venue with AC, which is a great update because my family use to place screens on the windows and run fans when we used Henderson back in the day. You'll also enjoy a bbq pit on the premises as well as a covered partition with picnic style benches as well as playgrounds, basketball courts and a baseball field which has a extraordinary place in history because Henderson (which was the park designated for African Americans during segregation) gave the Negro Leagues (and that is what they were called, so I am not going to change history here) a place and space to play. I am so glad that the baseball park remains a vital part of the park as well as the addition of a waterpark around the entryway to Henderson. Spacious and attractive, a day at Henderson provides some relaxation, relief, and literally a breath of fresh air if you visit. I'm excited to bring the family back together post covid to relaunch our reunions at Henderson in the near future, but I give pause and recognize how great it is that history still holds a special place in people's hearts and minds. Henderson Park will forever be a part of history. Let us not only celebrate it but cherish its presence and preservation to keep history alive in our community.

How fabulous it is to have this incredible venue half way between Austin and Houston. Either of those cities would love to Festival Hall within their city limits. But here it is, in rural Round Top. That said, Round Top is a great little city with nice dining options, great antique shops and more. We're really glad we discovered this gem!! They usually feature classical music, but today they invited the Houston Jazz Orchestra, a full 17- piece jazz band, and the first such big band to play at Festival Hall in their 50 year history. They gave a great performance. They were all so very talented and passionate about music. And a film crew was there recording the whole concert, which was interesting to watch. It was open seating. $30 per ticket (reasonable), with no food or drinks allowed or offered in the venue, even at intermission. But that made the intermission shorter. And I wouldn't allow food or drinks in there, either. The entire venue is a work of art. Even the floors are solid wood laid out in a herringbone pattern. They really went all out! We'll monitor their events and we'll be back. We may even bring a few friends with us. What a great place!
