Area Attractions
Bastrop State Park, Buescher State Park, Palmetto State Park, Lake Somerville State Park and Stephen F. Austin State Park are all nearby overnight parks within easy driving distance for a day trip visit.

A unique "Painted Churches Tour" is available to the south of the park, featuring authentic 19th-Century European style churches from German, Czech and other similar cultures in the countryside toward Schulenberg and Flatonia. Printed information is available from the park office or from the Schulenberg Chamber of Commerce www.schulenburgchamber.org

The town of La Grange has many fine old buildings (including some that Mr. Kreische built) available for tour and a "real" courthouse square, featuring an 1890s architecturally-significant courthouse building. A large monument to the heroes of the Dawson and Mier expeditions is located in the courthouse lawn and in one corner of the square is the "Muster Oak," where Captain Nicholas Dawson and those men of his expedition gathered to ride to their fates at the battle at Salado Creek at San Antonio in 1842. Fayette County men during eight wars and conflicts have joined military service since that time under this tree. An impressive and historical old stone jail building at 171 South Main Street, one block south of the square, houses the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce. Additional information can be obtained on amenities, overnight lodging, shopping and sightseeing opportunities at their office. Their telephone is 979/968-5756. Ask about the old historical cemetery or countywide tours that are being developed through the Chambers office. Do not miss La Granges bakeries and restaurants, serving traditional and ethnic foods and pastries -s well as plain, good food. The park has standing partnerships through the Chamber of Commerce offices with many businesses and will be pleased to work with you or your group to contribute information for "package" tours both at the park and in the surrounding communities. The Communities of Round Top and Winedale are nearby, with German and English nineteenth century museums and buildings available for viewing. Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site is within driving distance with a common theme of Texas Independence. You may want to refer to nearby parks.
