  Magnolia Silos

  Join us for a day tour, as we travel to Waco, Texas for a little Magnolia Market magnificence and some HGTV's Fixer Upper fun! Start your day heading south on I-35 towards the famous Magnolia Market at the Silos! We also visit Magnolia Table and Magnolia Press Coffee Shop. During the drive, your Tour Guide will entertain you with interesting stories of the history of Texas. We will arrive in Waco, Texas before you know it! There's something for everyone at Magnolia Market at the Silos. Shopping, games, the garden and even a bite to eat. Treat Yourself to Silos Baking Co., the on-site bakery filled with Joanna's personal recipes. Stop by the Garden; Joanna's vision was that the garden would be a space where the family can explore together and learn the lessons of the garden. Visit Magnolia Seed & Supply. This little shop sells gardening tools and supplies. Relax on the Lawn….On the big green lawn at the center of the property, enjoy the big box full of games. Most every sunny day, the lawn is covered up with parents and kiddos playing corn-hole, having potato sack races and throwing the football around. The lawn games make this more than a place to shop, but also a place to play and enjoy time with family and friends, have a picnic in the shade or grab a bite to eat at the Food Trucks. ​Visit Jimmy Don’s 36-foot-long trailer in the [Magnolia] parking lot. An estimated 400 people a day drift over from Magnolia Market to browse and take selfies with him. A short drive from Magnolia Market at the Silos is the Magnolia Table. As time and availability permits, enjoy a meal (not included) with your friends and family or pick something up to-go.

  Waco Suspension Bridge

  Waco’s Historic Suspension Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1870. The bridge was built with cable supplied by the John Roebling Co., who built the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Crucial to traders, cattle drives and travelers for well over a century, the bridge stands as an icon of Waco history. In 2008, the first pieces of the “Branding the Brazos” sculptures made their debut next to the bridge. The towering Chisholm Trail sculptures, crafted by Robert Summers, include an over-sized, bronze trail boss driving Longhorns crossing the Brazos.
