Texans aren’t shy to let visitors know all about the great things to see and do in the Lone Star State, and this year’s Guide tells of treasured attractions less wellknown or with a unique facet to be explored. One such Texas Hidden Gem is San Jose Island. It’s not small, but it’s privately owned and rarely visited. But this pristine part of the Texas coast can be reached by ferry from Port Aransas, allowing you and your family to frolic like the two children in our cover image from TxDOT photographer Will van Overbeek.

Whether they’re places, performances, panoramas, or people, we hope you’ll seek out more of these jewels on your travels through the Lone Star State. And when you’re ready to settle down for a night or a season, look to TACO’s nearly 400 member parks to provide comfortable accomodations, friendly conversation, and maybe an insider’s tip about where to find your next Texas adventure!

The National Videogame Museum in Frisco features interactive exhibits and educational programs to preserve and showcase the history and culture of video games.

Arlington: Sin City

The Top O’ Hill Terrace began in the 1920s as a tea room and restaurant, but within ten years and the coming of Prohibition, the building provided cover for an illegal casino and speakeasy built below ground, complete with tunnels through which patrons could flee from police raids. A crusading preacher finally got this den of iniquity shut down in the 1950s. A small museum at the location (now on the grounds of Arlington Baptist University) recalls its sinful past.

A Mammoth Find

Say Cheese

In 2000, Stuart and Connie Veldhuizen, along with their seven children, began a family farmstead cheesemaking operation with 20 baby calves. Today, four generations of the family are involved in the production of Veldhuizen Cheese, which offers tours of their Dublin farm, as well as over 20 varieties of artisan raw milk cheeses.

In 1978, two young men were searching for arrowheads on a farm near the Bosque River and found a large bone. A professor at nearby Baylor University identified it as from a Columbian Mammoth, and excavation was begun, unearthing no less than 16 mammoths in the next 12 years. Today the site is the Waco Mammoth National Monument, offering guided tours and educational exhibits.

Fun in Flower Mound

Flower Mound, Texas, gets its name from a 12.5-acre mound in the center of town, where wildflowers grow. Early explorers settled in the area of the mound in the 1840s, perhaps drawn to the mound that provided sweeping views of the area. Flower Mound today is a great spot for both relaxation and adventure. Like to shop? Nearby Grapevine Mills Mall is an outlet mall like no other, featuring Peppa Pig’s World of Play, an indoor play spot for kids ages six and younger, or Legoland Discovery Center for those who like to build. In addition, the mall offers dozens of shops where everyone can find something. Parker Square, in Flower Mound’s downtown, is a great spot for sipping, and strolling the streets. Don’t forget to visit the Mound, which is especially breathtaking in the spring, when the wildflowers are in bloom.

Visitors looking to stay on Grapevine Lake can book a stay at Twin Coves Park and Campground, with 19 fullyfurnished cabins and 22 RV sites. With an on-site boat launch, playground, and more, this spot has everything you might need for a great getaway. Explore all we have to offer at www.twincovespark.com

And the best place from which to explore all of Fort Worth’s treasures is Cowtown RV Park in Aledo.

On Fort Worth’s west side, Cowtown sits amid the quiet of the country, yet is conveniently close to the area’s myriad attractions. Amenities abound at Cowtown RV Park, including full hook-up sites, Wi-Fi & cable TV, swimming pool, rally room, four dog runs, and more. From Cowtown RV Park, you’re just minutes away from the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, where you can soak up Old West heritage, shop for cowboy clothes, see a twice-daily cattle drive, grab a drink in an historic saloon, and attend a country music show at several concert venues.

The cultural district is also close by, with several worldclass museums – the Kimball Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History –all within walking distance of each other. Also nearby are the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, Dickies Arena, Will Rogers Auditorium, and the sprawling complex of livestock buildings and other venues that hosts the annual Fort Worth Fat Stock Show & Rodeo.

Sports and thrills are also within easy reach. North Fort Worth is the site of Texas Motor Speedway, hosting races from the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, & Craftsman Truck Series, as well as IndyCar and other motorsports competition. And just down the road in Arlington you can take in a Dallas Cowboys game or watch the World Champion Texas Rangers play. Thrillseekers will love Six Flags Over Texas and its numerous roller coasters, and towering water slides at Hurricane Harbor.

Make your base at Cowtown RV Park and sample all of the amazing experiences of Fort Worth and the surrounding area. Visit www.cowtownrvpark.com.

Enjoy Some New Experiences in New Braunfels

New Braunfels was founded by a German prince who was looking to create a German colony in what was then the Republic of Texas. Although his plans didn’t work out, he did create what is now a little slice of vacation heaven on the road between San Antonio and Austin.

Take stroll around Gruene, a quaint spot that is part of greater New Braunfels, for an unique and authentic Texas experience. Boutiques and eateries line the historic area, all centered around Gruene Hall, the oldest continuously-operating dance hall in Texas. This venerable venue has seen George Strait, Willie Nelson, and dozens of other Texas Country legends perform on its stage. While waiting for your show to begin, get in line to dine at the Gristmill, where you can enjoy the views of the Guadalupe River and soak up some true Texas hospitality. Snag a few souvenirs at the nearby shops to commemorate your time in memorable Gruene.

A Place with the MOST History

First opened as as the Hidalgo County Historical Museum in the old Hidalgo County jail, the Museum of South Texas History in Edinburg has grown to become an important regional presence. Through permanent exhibits with bilingual text and state of the art displays, as well as educational activities, visitors journey through the prehistory and history of South Texas and northern Mexico.

Remembering Goliad

The annual Goliad Massacre and Living History Program takes place in March on the historic grounds of Presidio La Bahia, and features a reenactment of the 1836 Battle of Coleto Creek.

Cornered by Mexican army troops, James Fannin’s Texans held off three separate charges until their eventual surrender the next morning. Later the captives were marched to Goliad and shot on the orders of Santa Anna. Cries of “Remember Goliad” were heard throughout the duration of the Texas War of Independence.
