Backyard Gardening with Loraine. I learned so much as a beginner! Seasons, soil, compost, fertilizer, seeds, etc etc… I now have a plan for my little 8’x10’ backyard garden plot. Couldn’t recommend this class more!

Loved the history. Decided to visit after a ghost podcast highlighting the property. We did a self guided tour and were a bit disappointed that there wasn’t much signage explaining things. The trails were not marked and we couldn’t find the Indian encampment. Walked down what looked like trails to come up on dead ends. Expected more volunteers our at least a little more guidance

Quaint, cute, and full of history! A fully operational farm with room to host expansive events effortlessly. We enjoyed walking around the town and seeing every thing both the venue and the festival had to offer. Location is super convenient too - a nice neighborhood separates this from the rest of the town, so you get all the perks of country living near a big city.

There is free parking. You go to the general store to pay your admission. The gift shop is also there.The grounds are quite large, but most of the buildings are in the vicinity of the general store. When I visited, the blacksmith shop was open and functioning. They do provide free WiFi service.

We wanted to step back into the 1800s in Texas by visiting the Pioneer Farms. Unfortunately, we arrived around 10 a.m. on Sunday. It was a great place to visit. We were expected to see volunteers dressed up and working in various homes and buildings. Unfortunately, the volunteers do not arrive until around 1 p.a. on Sundays, so we missed the action. However, we completely enjoyed taking the self-guided tour. You can pick up the tour brochure at the General Store. The tour moves from one landmark to another. Information signs are posted along the marked trails and pathways. Well worth the visit. Plan for at least 2 hours. We took over a ton of pictures. So much to see. Well worth the time. YOu could actually spend a half-day and still not see everything.
