A beautiful town way off the beaten track.  Lots of history and architecture.  The Texas revolution started here.   Architecture from log houses to Victorian mansions.  Lots of Texas revolution historical places. More.

Two small unspoiled, the real thing, Texas towns.  Well off the beaten track.  These are ranch towns from the old Texas.  Yorktown is famous for its leatherworks.  You can get western boots, belts, handbags and more here.  Shopping with a western flavor.   More.

Without question, the most scenic region of Texas.  La Grange is a nice mid sized rural town.  Bastrop has a historic district on the river with great shopping and dinning.  Round Top is small with a lot of historic buildings.  These are places where Texans go to get back to their roots.  Good shopping and at times, high culture.  Round Top is home to a cultural center that hosts Shakespeare festivals and major symphony orchestras.   More.

This old early 1800s road runs from San Antonio to San Felipe.  San Felipe is gone now, but in 1830 it was the main town in the Austin colony.  Bypassed by modern highways, much of this old route is now small country lanes and farm top market roads.  The old route goes thru Cibilo, Seguin, Gonzales, Moulton, Oakland and Columbus.  It goes past historic ranches that date back to Spanish times, old plantations and thru beautiful country sides.  Along the way there are dozens of historic places such as where the first shot in the Texas Revolution was fired.  A perfect and full day for a history buff.    This is just one of the many historic routes we can travel down.
