Brenham

Elevation : 1,670
Population : .5,879

Driving east on US 290 around Brenham, you’ll sense the transition from central to southeast Texas. While Brenham isn’t in the heart of the Big Thicket, you can feel that millions of acres of marshes, streams, and dense woodlands are just ahead. Farming is huge in the fertile lands around Brenham, but the town is best known as the home of Blue Bell ice cream. April is the best time to visit. With spring in the air and bluebonnets blanketing the landscape, you’ll want to figure out how to work your way on for a round at Brenham C.C. before you head for the ice cream tour.

Notes
Satisfy your barbecue cravings at Tex’s Barbecue (979-836-5962), a screen-door joint that serves pork ribs, cole slaw, and green beans on picnic tables underneath tall pines. Then waddle to Blue Bell, which was founded back in 1907 and now makes the best ice cream in the world.
