A visit to Brenham, Texas, provides a breath of fresh air after time in the big city of Houston. This small city is located in Washington County, which itself is found in a lush area with an abundance of bluebonnet fields. The area has a number of indoor and outdoor attractions.

A series of museums tell the story of old Texas, while the area’s wine trail winds among several regional vineyards. Brenham also boasts a number of outdoor park spaces and several spas for a relaxing day in this quaint town. And the local Blue Bell Ice Cream creamery is not to be missed, as tours here show off how Texas’s favorite ice cream is prepared.
