About this adventure
Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms is Central Texas's most immersive 19th-century living history outdoor museum. Within its 90-acre green farmstead, five Texas pioneer settlements from different historical periods have been authentically recreated: an 1841 Tonkawa Indian Camp, an 1868 Texas Longhorn Cattle Drive Camp, an 1873 German Immigrant Farm, an 1887 Cotton Plantation Farmhouse, and an 1899 Rural Hardware Town. On weekends, interpreters and blacksmiths in 19th-century historical costumes demonstrate traditional blacksmithing, woodworking, hand-spinning cotton, and grinding corn with a stone mill. Children can pet and feed Texas Longhorn cattle, turkeys, donkeys, and purebred sheep along the shaded trails. The farm trails are flat, natural dirt paths suitable for all-terrain strollers. The farm entrance gift shop features an air-conditioned rest area, picnic tables, and clean family restrooms.
