Waller County is one of the last great rural escapes in the Houston area. Just a short drive down Interstate 10 or US Hwy 290 will bring you through Waller County from Houston (download map). Here you can visit a working farm complete with rides and attractions for all ages, tour a real winery, drop out of a plane, take a ride in vintage aircraft, watch a real county fair, get excited over a good old fashioned destruction derby, and step back in time to the civil war era. These are just a few of the exciting activities waiting for you here. |
