There was an entertaining puppet show with an overflowing crowd in a full tent. The main premise was a well ventilated house with multiple rooms. The house felt cool despite having no air conditioning. There was a small farm with an attractive turkey that turned heads of their visitors. Hens and cocks were also roaming alongside this turkey. I see a section for clothes drying on a line as well as a hut for various uses. It was a sustainable way of life with people dressed in period costumes and acting in various roles of a past life. Nice start to exploring Washington on the Brazos River.

The living history farm is known for many live demos but due to Covid - they have had to adapt and now you hear about it instead of experience it. I have to commend the passion of the people who maintain this place, dress up each day, and keep their knowledge fresh. We went on a "Parlor Games" themed day and the lovely lady was so informative, patient and sweet. This is one of the coolest "walking through history" experiences we have done. You also get to see all the heirloom animals (that looks so different from what we are now used to) and the kitchen/ smokehouse/ tool shed.

This location has a house, several animal pens, some gardens, cattle, pigs and birds. You can talk to a few folks who work the farm. They also have a smoke house where they make their own meats and pick potatoes. You can't pet the animals but the cows are really friendly. This place is nice for photographs. There's parking near the entrance so you can drive to it instead of walking the distance. Laid back and fun to explore. This one is great for kids.

There was a couple having wedding photos, and there was an elderly man taking pictures, and I just really liked how serene it was. Even the surrounding areas are just open fields and it's very beautiful. I'm happy this place is not too long of a drive from Houston to escape the city.

I would recommend to go if you are attending Baylor college just so you can see a bit of history of where the school originated.. It also gives you a great viewing of what started out as a woman's only college. Fun fact I didn't know so I definitely learned something new. We stopped by here after coming from the antique rose Emporium and right before going to to Brenham. I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time! The trees that have grown there are absolutely amazing and beautiful.. Many of which I have seen in San Antonio and other parks around Houston. Cool pictures if you are also graduating from Baylor too!

Not only is there a main house complete with artifacts and informational posters and pamphlets, but there are also incredibly knowledgeable docents who can walk you through the areas. Julie gave us an well educational interactive tour through not only the front house, but also two other historical cabins and the workplace of a lumberjack. The authenticity of the artifacts, furnishings, and overall style of the lodgings (some pieces are originals, while some are replicas or refurbished) is incredible and really transports you back in time. This is a wonderful place to bring kids, particularly if they're in a school system in the area that will be having them participate in the Texas historical project. Thank you again, Julie for taking your time during the cold weather, to explain such an interesting history to us.

It reminded me of Caprock Canyon. The ladies restroom was clean with plenty of toilet paper.

I can't speak for the restrooms or concessions, but the park itself works great for soccer, and we enjoyed our visit.

The mayor nor College station PD has done anything to stop them from tearing up a park that was dedicated to the men and woman who fought for this country! The parking lots are covered in tire tracks and the trash everywhere is gross! Sad to see NOONE gives a crap! I used to feel safe in this park but when the car club is tearing it up they will try and run you over while your crossing on a crosswalk on purpose, they pee out in the open so people can see, they toss their trash in the grass and in the parking lots including glass and just speed through and tear up the entire park and they harass the elderly that use that park to exercise! Again this was a park dedicated to veterans and to see it spit all over is sad. College station should do better
