Working dairy and farm which hosts tours and has a petting area.

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!
2. Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill State Historic Site

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.

This courthouse is within walking distance of many other interesting places such as the Texas Heros Museum, the Quilt Museum, and Latte on the Square. It is located in the centrer of the Square in La Grange, Texas, and a visit will give you a taste of Texas Country! Peaceful, quiet, and beautiful!! Enjoy.

5. Blissful Folly Farm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 49 reviews
Rohan Meadery is nestled between the small south central Texas communities of La Grange, Round Top & Fayetteville on Blissful Folly Farm. Rohan Meadery is owned & operated by John & Wendy Rohan. The meads are prepared in a Czech style, resulting in a crisp, clean & slightly drier end product. John's great- great grandfather Frank Rohan, immigrated from Moravia (Czech Republic) & settled just south of La Grange in the community of High Hill in the 1880s.

We stopped in to taste the new beers that the Rohans just started making. The beers are very robust and flavorful. You can buy a 4 pack to go and they are in the cutest cans with chickens on them. Wendy, the owner, is a beekeeper so she sells all things “Bee”. Lots of cute things- candles, soaps, vinegars, dippers, etc. and of course she still has her delicious meads. There are chickens and animals outside and a lovely pavilion for outside eating and tasting. A fun place
