A volunteer from the local historical society was welcoming and pointed us to a number of interesting objects that we might have overlooked, including a spinning wheel with a very interesting history. The outdoor exhibits are mostly cabins from the frontier era that have been generally outfitted as they might have been back in those times. They're all fascinating to look at and lovingly detailed. There's also a lot of farm equipment that's just kind of parked there; perhaps an exhibit on the evolution of farming would be useful to add? The indoor exhibits are almost overwhelming in the sheer variety of objects, but there's a good amount of explanatory detail (though some of it is a bit... dated). By the time you leave, you'll have a pretty solid appreciation for the local history of Burnet and a bit more for Texas as a whole.

Decided to check out the Beloved Gallery in Marble Falls as I read there was a free exhibition of a…read morefamous childhood artist I knew about years ago, Akiane Kramarik. "Akiane: The Early Years" is a collection of original masterpieces painted by Akiane before the age of 16. I was so excited to know it was up here! You have to reserve a time slot online & I did it early this morning. Note that you cannot bring any handbags in the gallery, just clear bags. Also, no photos are allowed. They watch you like a hawk. We checked in the Beloved Cafe where there's a Concierge who can look up your name. The cafe has Beloved T-shirts, tumblers, mugs, trinkets, wallets, keychains & bags. Bathrooms are on the 2nd floor of the office space next door. You can take an elevator or stairs after the check-in clerk unlocks the door. We were led into the gallery by the Concierge where there was a tour guide starting her presentation by a stunning light blue marble wall as a backdrop. There's also a light blue marble waterfall wall below the gallery. The tour guide briefly explained Akiane's life & how she slowly developed her painting & artistic talent, how her parents used to be atheists & agnostic & how her most famous painting, "Prince of Peace" came about. The owners of the gallery met Akiane & her family obtained some of Akiane's works & that the goal is to receive 1 million visitors to the gallery. I believe they've already had 45,000 visitors from all over the world. The gallery has been opened since April 2023. The guide advocated us spreading the word. You're led to a screening room where Akiane speaks about her journey in a short ~17 minute film from 1:17pm-1:34pm. After the film ended, I asked some questions with the gracious tour guide until she told me we had until 1:55pm because the next tour was going to take place. She appreciated my questions but had to cut us off & said we should read Akiane's biography for more detailed info. We literally only had maybe 10 minutes to view all the paintings so it was a bit rushed. I didn't have enough time to read thru & examine the artwork. I thought the film was a bit lengthy & the room was hot. Hopefully the next time we go we can bypass the film. This is a must-see and inspiration. I didn't know it was up here until today when I was looking at the Christmas events at Marble Falls & their 44 Nights of Holiday Cheer.

It's free so don't expect anything mind-blowing. However, it's a nice addition to the rec center grounds. It's an activity you can do with kids. They can run around and you get to look at art. There's a little playground for kids as well. Very limited -- a web swing, a slide, and a climbing dome. If you want to keep walking, the trail loops around the pond. I think it's about a mile. Nothing scenic but nice to have the option nonetheless. The art varies -- there were pieces I liked and others, not so much.

The total length around the pond was about 0.8 miles, not long but paved. We had our dog with us, and we were happy to see a couple of poopy bag stations along the trail. However, they were in random places and weren't near the recreation center. When we went, few people were on the path, which made for a pleasant time. Bikes can use the same trail, so be sure to yield to them to let them pass. For the sections of the trail that dip towards the water, there is an alternate, higher dirt path you can take whenever the water of the pond rises from rain and light flooding. The trail extends and passes by Costco and a Marriott hotel. Along the way, there are a couple of spots where you can see a small waterfall when you pass under a bridge. We saw several people fishing along the banks, though we're unsure whether or not a fishing license is required. This trail isn't too bad if you don't mind the car traffic noise from cars entering and exiting the Costco parking lot.

Even though we had chilly weather and a little rain, it didn't stop us one bit. We ended up picking close to seven pounds of fresh strawberries and they were so tasty and juicy. The whole experience of walking row by row and picking the perfect berry was so much fun. There's even a helpful little sign explaining how to pick the strawberries properly so they last longer. *Pro tip, leave a bit of the stem on the strawberry as you pick them, they stay fresh longer. We learned that after the fact, but we'll definitely do it right next time. The farm is huge, around 152 acres of expansive land, which was very green, open, and peaceful. It wasn't crowded at all the day we went, which made it even more enjoyable. The kids had a blast. They have a cute little train ride, a fun bouncing area, and plenty of space for the kiddies to run around. The goats were a big highlight for us. You can buy feed for 25 cents a tiny cup, and we went through four pretty quickly - you might want to grab more upfront because they close at 5 and we didn't get a chance to go back for more goat feed. The setup around the goat area was really nice and whimsical, and there's just so much open space to explore and walk and get fresh air. They also have a small gift shop with ice cream and little goodies, which was a nice touch after being out in the fields. Overall, it was such a peaceful, fun, and memorable day. Beautiful views, great atmosphere, and a perfect mix of activities for both kids and adults. We'll absolutely be back. Easily a five star experience.

They also offer pick your own flowers, a bouncy area, a barrel train ride, and various arts and crafts activities for kids. There are also baby goats to feed!
