1. The Bugle Boy

I have to admit some bias as we've been visiting the Bugle Boy since it opened. This is easily my favorite listening room. Patrons are quiet so you can focus on the music. The bands cover all styles and periods of American popular music. If they don't have who you want to see tonight, they may next weekend. We especially enjoy the singer songwriter events. Lot's of great memories of the Bugle Boy and their volunteer crew. And even though they are closed to walk in guests, they are live streaming performances every Saturday.

3. The Quilted Skein
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Enter our 150-year-old building and you will be enveloped in color, hundreds of bolts of fabric and an almost endless array of yarn. The Quilted Skein maintains a full library of designer textiles, products and patterns from such fabric innovators as, Kaffe Fassett, Marcia Derse, Jinny Beyer, RJR, Windham, and Island Batiks to name a few, all beautifully displayed in custom wood cabinets and specially crafted Plexiglas cases that showcase over 5,000 fat quarters. Our yarn collection is just as diverse with many internationally known labels as well as the latest trending fibers from Independent dyers. Natural light floods the meticulously restored and architecturally stunning space washing over the 13-foot project table where creative vision reigns. Featured archways give a sneak peek into the garden courtyard and solarium that beckon from beyond.

This is one of the very best retail art galleries that I've ever had the pleasure to go in. Every piece in this shop is made by an artisan that is involved in the development. It includes purses, jewelry, and gifts in addition to paintings and drawings. Just wonderful!

Working dairy and farm which hosts tours and has a petting area.
Reviewed By patrickd78 - Houston, United States
Wonderful and an affordable experience. I , my Daughter and Grandson visited on March 20th. We had a blast taking the tour and interacting with and feeding the animals up close. Faith gave us a wonderful and informative tour of the dairy farm and the hay ride. Unfortunately, there was a previous negative comment from a AllIecollIns where she stated, "... clearly don’t care about their patrons...," however we found just the opposite! They do care about their guest and their safety a great deal. The wearing of a mask due to Covid is optional as per state's guidelines. There were some guest choosing to wear mask and keeping social distancing, while other wore no masks. Use common sense and what is best for the individual. I would highly recommend to any family with children!
6. Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill State Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
Reviewed By frogcarguy - Denison, United States
This little historic site, I think it's only 40 acres, is well worth a visit. There are the ruins of the brewery that closed in 1882 and a memorial where the bodies from the black bean massacre are buried. You can walk as much or as little as you want. The trail to the brewery is only about a half mile RT. We walked almost all the trails, almost 3 miles. One thing not really mentioned on the map you are given, is that the trail in the Kreischer Woods is a nature trail with signs pointing out native plants. It is nicely done. Spend some time in the museum so you will know the history behind what you're seeing. We visited in January and had the place to ourselves.
7. Texas Quilt Museum

Reviewed By KayWinCW - Fort Worth, United States
The quilts, of which there were many, were among the most beautiful I've seen. Not only were the Kaffe Fassett quilts spectacular, but the traveling exhibit by Texas quilters (two from my neck of the woods) were equally impressive. I had not known that the exhibits change every few months. I'll be back again and again.
8. Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center

Reviewed By Thequeenbee02 - Muldoon, United States
We visited during an open house and a delightful gentleman gave us a mini tour. It is a beautiful building filled with amazing artifacts, a fantastic library, and a fun gift shop. They had a breathtakingly beautiful nativity set made of olive wood. And the chandelier in the main hall is gorgeous. There are quite a few outbuildings that show life in a simpler time and place. If you are a history buff who likes to learn about other cultures and geography, this is the place for you. We look forward to returning when we have more time!
