    Mrs. K. made only one request for this trip and this was it. Given her history of extraordinary…read morestops, the last one having been the famous Lizzie Borden House in Fall River Massachusetts, I was more than willing to reroute our journey to make this one possible. The Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville delivers a surprisingly deep and thoughtfully arranged collection of the state's correctional history with a collection of memorabilia, videos, displays and such that is tremendous and possible overwhelming without being sensational. I thought that the actual prison cell mockup was pretty good because it shares that immediate physical sense of confinement that no documentary ever quite captures. While I never did the "scared straight" thing as a kid, this would definitely work to keep me on the legal side of the law as that spall space made the whole idea of consequences feel quite real. The museum is easy to navigate and completely handicapped accessible. The staff is welcoming and the exhibits seem to strike a balance between historical detail and human stories. I didn't buy any of the prisoner-made trinkets. That seemed too much. This was a tremendous five star stop. Pro tip: Check the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website for scheduled executions. I understand that the protesters and counter-protesters can get quite passionate and while that's a couple miles from here, it does get Livingston rather cloggedup.

Also at the front there is a place where you can by items made by inmates. They had some nice leather work items, key chains and wood work items. The staff was very nice and answered any questions we had.

    I've been to many museums through the years. This was my first visit to a presidential…read moremuseum/library, and it was spectacular. In addition to a 25-minute video production about the life of President George H.W. Bush (during which I shed a tear), there are more artifacts here than you can shake a stick at. The guides are quite friendly and knowledgeable, and they are prepared to answer questions. During my visit, there were several original artifacts on display, including FDR's speech on Dec. 8, 1941, and Elvis Presley's original enlistment documents. But those are traveling exhibits. There is plenty of Bush family memoriblia to quench your thirst for some up-close history.

    I love visiting Presidential Libraries when I happen to be in the area. So far I have visited the…read moreones for Hoover (West Branch, IA), Johnson (Austin, Tx), Nixon (Yorba Linda, CA), Reagan (Simi Valley, CA), Truman (Independence MO), and now George H.W. Bush. I was in College Station over the weekend for a Texas A&M Class of 1980 Reunion, and part of the agenda was paying this place a visit. The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library complex, located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, includes the Presidential Library and Museum, the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. My visit included the main Museum, a separate building holding the very cool Union Pacific 4141 Engine and the Marine One Helicopter, and the graves of President Bush, his Wife Barbara, and their Daughter Robin. The later involves a pretty walk around a scenic pond (and rose garden area) and onwards to a gated plot within a quiet woodsy area. If Gayle is reading this, of course I also took a look through the gift shop at the end of my visit. I found the main museum to be nicely curated, in chronological order, and with lots of interesting things to learn and remember. I found that I needed at least a couple passes through to help layer my visit. Of particular note (besides the 4141 and Marine One) were exhibits noting the fall of the Berlin Wall, Camp David, the family boat (Fidelity), and the car that the Bush family drove out to Texas for the first time. There was also a special (and worth visiting) exhibit when I was there Music America: Iconic Objects From America's Music History. Also, please don't miss the 22 minute orientation video when you first start in. I found that it really helped set the stage for what was to come at this museum.

It was amazing to explore the townsite and explore the building where the declaration of independence from Mexico was signed. Just walking on the grounds where these visionaries walked was melancholy. The visitor center has a bunch of information. This historical site houses the Star of the Republic Museum, a park, and the Barrington living history farm. We didn't get to see the farm or visit the park. We ran out of time

It allowed me to enjoy the walk while understanding more about Washington on the Brazos River. Got to see the famous Brazos River and imagine how life was or could have been. Washington, Texas could have been a bustling city like Austin. It was fun seeing the old life acted out in the exact place it happened. It was fun hearing from those playing the various roles all over the park. It's a nice and sacred part of Texas history. One can explore neighboring areas like Navasota or Chappell Hill for dinner. Was hoping to have dinner at Bevers in Chappell Hill but it was closed. It was an easy drive home. Found a new way to get 10k steps in.
