My daughter and I left Houston to escape the uncertainties of power outages across the city. We head west towards Austin looking for a decent hotel and things to do while Houston restores itself.
We ended up in La Grange, TX and I found out that there was a nearby historical park with hiking trails. This is our day captured on video.

In 1849, German immigrant Heinrich Ludwig Kreische purchased 172 acres of land including the Dawson/Mier tomb, now known as Monument Hill State Historic Site. Master stonemason Kreische built a three-story house for his family. In the 1860s, he utilized the spring water from the ravine below his house and started one of the first commercial breweries in Texas. Walk the ruins of this once-bustling brewery and envision how Fayette County citizens would come and enjoy a pint of Kreische’s Bluff Beer while looking out toward the beautiful Texas landscape. The Kreische Brewery and home are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
