Brenham, TX
Brenham, Washington County, Texas, "GOD'S Country! -
5/2/2007The people are down to earth, friendly and the country is the most beautiful you will find in Texas. Rolling hills, beautiful views, outstanding cultural amenities, antique shops and lots of recreational opportunities, to name a few of it's attributes.
It is the "Birthplace of Texas". The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed by Sam Houston and the other framers of the constitution in Washington County near the famous Brazos River. Washington County began the first Independent School District in Texas!
Wonderful state parks including "Washington on the Brazos State Park and Museum" where visitors can see the history of the area and information about how it all began. "Washington on the Brazos" is a beautiful place for family gatherings and offers a great education for "old and young" visitors as well.
Lake Somerville is 15-20 minutes from Brenham and is surrounded by more than 6 parks for camping, fishing, water sports and just relaxing.
The area has so much more to offer..... and it's the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream!!! Y'all Come!
