WACO, TX â If you re looking for an escape from the modern world you can get a glimpse into the lives of Columbian Mammoths and other Ice Age animals in Waco.
Sitting on more than 100 acres of wooded parkland along the Bosque River is the Waco Mammoth National Monument.
A trail system allows visitors to stroll through the park. You will find plants like the honey locust tree which also grew during the Ice Age. Or you might spot a live oak thatâs as old as the U.S. Constitution. There s also a shady picnic area for families to enjoy.

BRENHAM, TX â With Summer quickly approaching it will soon be time to beat the heat in the most Texas way possible. Brenham is kind of known for the three B s. You ve got Blue Bell, you ve got Blue Bonnets, and you ve got baseball, Matt Danesi, the Visitor Center Manager at Blue Bell Creameries said.
At Blue Bell Creameries you get the chance to experience all three.
It all started in 1907 when some Brenham businessmen decided to make butter with the excess milk area farmers brought in. A few years later they began making ice cream and delivering it by horse and wagon. The rest, as they say, is history.
