Old Baylor Park — Attraction in Brenham

This place is quite a little oasis. Surrounded by lovely and shapely, big and old live oak trees. Some are truly impressive! I found it a surprisingly refrshing roadside stop. It was especially nice when I was was there with the early springtime weather being very delightful with warm temperatures and nice fresh breezes blowing over the rolling hills and open fields that encompass the rise where the old women's Baylor College used to be.

This park is the location of and has the old ruins of the original Baylor College. There are a couple of historic buildings on the property. There are swings there for the kids. There is a picnic table available. The beautiful overgrown trees here are well worth the visit to this park. In the spring the blubonnets bloom along with other wildflowers. If you have the patience to sit for a while you will see butterflies fluttering through the flowers. Not much is located around this area so be sure to bring water or other drinks along for the kids or yourself. Take the 20 minute drive into Brenham and go to Must Be Heaven for lunch after your visit here. They have great chicken salad!

1936 Bronze Plaque...

Just old buildings in a field, with an old pioneer house, old ruins from Baylor College, and an old schoolhouse. Provides some interesting options for photography, and in a good year it could make for great shots for people enjoying photography of the wildflowers against the buildings and ruins there.

The facility is set up more for it being little more than a roadside attraction sans any employees. There are signs you can read for self guided tours.

There were some picnic tables, and a restroom.

This is not destination travel, but stopping off to stretch the legs on a bigger trip,...
