Round Top & Brenham

Antiques, bluebonnets and pie.

Round Top is a tiny Texas town that swells into one of the country’s biggest antiques shows each spring and fall, and the rolling Washington County countryside around it turns blue with wildflowers every April. Land at Brenham, stay at the Round Top Inn or the Ant Street Inn in Brenham, have pie at Royers Round Top Cafe, catch a concert at Festival Hill, tour Blue Bell Creameries, and visit Washington-on-the-Brazos, where Texas declared independence.
