This is such a cute area with great historical architecture left by the Baylor University. Im a photographer and this place offers a lot of great spots to get pictures.

Beautiful park! Plenty of space for the children to run. Lots of benches for the adults. Plus the kids loved climbing the trees! We also really enjoyed all the snippets of history about Baylor

Always enjoy this place! I cant think of better way or place to spend time with a few friends and enjoy a picnic lunch.

We love exploring this historic place.We cane during the Rona virus pandemic for a nice break.Beautiful place for a picnic lunch and strolling around.Looking forward to visiting again when all is running normally....

Free. No one present, all 3 buildings (and the bathroom) locked. Accessible 24/7. Interpretive signs. Picnic tables & garbage cans available.

Beautiful historical spot. Kids loved it. Nice spot for a picnic with good shade.

Beautiful setting for a place with such historic significance for both the Republic and State of Texas.

Love the history with Baylor and this park is a perfect photo op. Especially in the spring when the wild flowers and blue bonnets cover the field.

If you love history, you must stop here! Even if you arent a Baylor fan, the fields are full of wildflowers in the springtime, and the historic buildings are a wonderful piece of Texas history! The second-oldest remaining structure in Texas (circa 1824) is here! A must if you are in the area!

Very intereating story about this place. Wish had been better preserved or restored

Great little historic park with guided tours of antique cabins and school house, swings and picnic tables. Nice photo ops in a very pretty county setting with plenty of historical markers. We rode bikes 4miles down a hilly country road and it was BEAUTIFUL with all the spring flowers in bloom. It is what you make of it. We had a nice visit

Great little place for a rest stop! Home of the original Baylor University. Swings, picnic tables and restrooms! Also lovely for taking pictures in the Texas wildflowers away from the highway!

So many volunteers made this an incredible first visit! Thanks! Bluebonnets were out .... incredible

Love the history and all the information about the area! Great to see and feel the past in a place of honor.

3.14.20 No filter, Samsung cell phone camera. I would suggest going during the week when less people are here

Great park to stop and relax at. The bluebonnets are fantastic here and the history of Baylor is well documented and taken care of.

Definitely worth the stop if youre into Texas history.

This park is the location of and has the old ruins of the original Baylor College. There are a couple of historic buildings on the property. There are swings there for the kids. There is a picnic table available. The beautiful overgrown trees here are well worth the visit to this park. In the spring the blubonnets bloom along with other wildflowers. If you have the patience to sit for a while you will see butterflies fluttering through the flowers. Not much is located around this area so be sure to bring water or other drinks along for the kids or yourself. Take the 20 minute drive into Brenham and go to Must Be Heaven for lunch after your visit here. They have great chicken salad!Texas State Historical Marker No: 161151936 Bronze Plaque Centennial Marker

A beautiful park especially when the wildflowers are blooming in the Spring.

Absolutely beautiful! Bluebonnets are perfect. Great day trip.

Beautiful peaceful historic Park amazing in the spring when the amazing Texas wildflowers are blooming!!! Well worth a visit as is the Antique Rose Emporium nearby!!! Texas hero General Sam Houstons wife is buried in Independence TX where the park is located. A lovely off the beaten path stop!!

Nice place to photo wildflowers with families and friends during spring season.

A quick visit on a rainy day!

This little park is beautiful if you enjoy historical places! One of the first dates for me and my now husband!

Fantastic history, & signage. The live oaks are magical. The swingset somewhat ruin the ambiance

Real cool place for pictures

GO BAYLOR! SIC EM BEARS!

This is a wonderful Little historic site. Beautiful location with a lot to offer. Historic buildings to tour, ruins, and a great picnic area under the old live oak trees. This place is definitely worth the trip.

Its a beautiful historical site with picnic tables and swings. A great place to take pictures

Its worth a brief stop at to stretch and take some pics. Better if you read a little history about its significance before you stop by.

For what this place is, its great.This is really a glorified picking area with a lot of history. Beautiful setting, neat buildings, and a dose of Texas and Baylor history.As far as amenities, it has picnic tables, some swings for kids, and bathrooms. But, its a stellar place for a picnic. Lots a trees and shade.

So beautiful and picturesque!

Great location for pictures and to learn a bit more about Texas state history!

Always pleasant to visit during wildflower season, many varieties here on the grounds

Nice place to stop and picnic while seeing a little history.

Great parc.. stopped there and took great pictures with bluebonnets!!

Beautiful view of bluebonnets.

Nice place and the weather was very good that day too.

Love the huge oak trees and peace and quiet

Nice park. Beautiful wildflowers in the spring.

A must see for history buffs.

Was a beautiful park

Went for a book reading + Q&A with 2 women authors. Entertaining as well as educational. Well moderated. Will go again, for sure.

Just old buildings in a field, with an old pioneer house, old ruins from Baylor College, and an old schoolhouse. Provides some interesting options for photography, and in a good year it could make for great shots for people enjoying photography of the wildflowers against the buildings and ruins there.The facility is set up more for it being little more than a roadside attraction sans any employees. There are signs you can read for self guided tours.There were some picnic tables, and a restroom.This is not destination travel, but stopping off to stretch the legs on a bigger trip, its not bad.

Great picnic spot with picnic tables. Bluebonets and huge trees. Swings. Great place to spend family time.

Small quiet historic site, great on spring to take pictures, there are great fields full of flowers, if you are passing by and would like to see inside of the cabins you have to schedule a tour,only available on the spring.

Lovely, lot of Texas history.

This site is historical and beautiful.

If you are into night photography this is a great park to visit at night as well.

Friendly and informative staff.

Scenic and and beutiful spot. Tours in the Spring time. Great for a picnic!

Awesome bluebonnets when in blue. The site itself is interesting with some remnants of a former college and some houses.

Beautiful historical site with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes for great photo opps

Beautiful place to take my daughters senior pictures
