Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms in northeast Austin offers new 'Hidden History' guided walking tours on select weekends this fall. The tours wind through the living-history site's 1800s farms and buildings — from Sprinkle Corner's general store to the Dessau Church, where Elvis Presley sang gospel in 1955, and the spot along Walnut Creek tied to the decision to move the Republic of Texas capital to Austin — sharing little-known stories 'you won't learn in school'. The organisers promise surprises and chuckles, and joke that there is no quiz at the end for kids. Tours start at 10 am and are included with regular admission. Best for school-age children who like stories and walking outdoors.
