24 Days To Go!

If you roll into town a little early or stay after the wedding is over, here are a few activities we love that are super close to the venue!

Old Baylor Park

11300 Old Baylor College Rd, Brenham, TX 77833, USA
(979) 251-9227

Climbable trees, old buildings, and a field that's full of flowers in the Spring and Summer!

Sarah came here each year for pictures in the bluebonnets growing up, and we've continued that tradition together, making the trip from College Station.

Texas Baptist Museum & Independence Baptist Church

As Baptists ourselves, we've checked out the church and museum before, and loved learning about how this small town is so important to history.

Open 10am - 4:30pm, Tuesday through Saturday

Blue Bell Creameries & Country Store

FM577, Brenham, TX 77833, USA
(979) 830-2197

Tours of the factory, huge variety of ice cream, and a fun walk around the grounds!

We're both avid fans of bluebell ice cream, even running the bluebell half marathon, so of course this is one of the things we'd recommend you stop by.

Save room, we'll have bluebell at the wedding too :)

Open 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday

Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site

We've actually never been there but it's birthplace of Texas as a republic! If you're interested in a quick trip to learn some Texas history, it's definitely worth checking out.
