| The County
Seat of Washington County is the center of any visit. In fact you could think
of Washington
County as a large under populated city with very picturesque neighborhoods
and really really big yards with cows. It will make your trip. |
Brenham
Landmarks & Destinations |
Architecturally,
downtown has some fine examples of the brick mason's art, while the residences
in the older parts of Brenham show off the skills of the carpenter.
The Carousel in Fireman's
Park is only one of eight in the state, and may be the first of it's kind
to be seen by younger visitors, who have only seen them in movies and books.
The Brenham
Heritage Museum is in the former Post Office at 105 S. Market. Housed next
to the museum, is a rare horse-drawn Silsby Steam Fire Engine circa 1879.
For those with more than a passing interest in Washington County history,
the library sits on the southern end of Fireman's Park.
Events
Maifest - Annual German heritage festival. May

veteran - and I only remember him as 'Sergeant.' He rode up and down the graded
roads whistling a tune." - Melissa

about the Old Yellow Fever Cemetery in Brenham... It would be a shame to let it
deteriate any further. I was informed by Mrs. Stavena that the Masons were going
