One Month Left to visit “Toy Time” at Washington on the Brazos! GREAT Staycation!
Looking for some old-fashioned family fun? Blinn College’s Star of the Republic Museum at Washington on the Brazos presents “Toy Time,” an interactive, hands-on exhibit of giant-sized folk toys from days gone by! Explore what makes these tumbling, rocking, spinning and dancing toys work, while discovering that these toys are just as much fun as they were 200 years ago! “Toy Time” will be open from June 1 through August 31.The museum is located just off Hwy 105, between Navasota and Brenham, just 25 miles from College Station! The Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.starmuseum.org.
Thanks for the reminder. It’s been years since we visited Washington on the Brazos. Sorry I left that one off my list. It’s a fun place to go!
