Here are some shots taken four years after our first visit back in 2009. In 2013 a new area had been developed; its a sort of village within the village of Round Top.

This elegant facility, located just a mile or so out of town, is host to various musical performances during the year. There are concerts, forums, poetry and theater. Here are some samples for the year 2010:
Jan. 30: Synergy Brass Quintet
Feb. 13: Kremlin Chamber Orchestra
March 6: 6th International Guitar Festival
April 17th: Percussion forum
April 25: The Brenham Children's Chorus
April 30, May 1 & 2: Poetry at Round Top 2010
June 12 thru July 17th: 40th Annual International Festival-Institute at Round Top
(the above is only a partial listing of events...and all this in a town with a population of 77!)

For a tiny town they have some great stores with some very nice works of art in the realm of sculptures, paintings and such. Also some quality craft-type items as well.

Even a small place such as this has a Chamber of Commerce just off the main square. Round Top is certainly a place where a visitor will feel welcome. Texas is known for its friendly small towns. One of the biggest mistakes that visitors to this state make is that they restrict themselves to the large cities. Sure, the cities have lots of attractions, However, they often fail to reveal the nicer and more laid back side of Texas.

At the center of the village is its historic courthouse. In Texas, especially the rural towns, the courthouse is the centerpiece of the town. It is almost always surrounded by a square. The rest of Round Top and its sites spread from every direction from this central location. This is also the ideal place to get a parking space. To date, there has never been a problem securing a parking space.

Several Texas towns have created open air museums featuring architecture of the region. Round Top is no exception, and many fine buildings from the region's past are featured here. The entrance is at the "apothecary" building adjacent to the town square. Inside that building are some exhibits as well as a place to get a Blue Bell ice cream cone.

Shoppers will enjoy looking around the handful of small antique shops to be found surrounding the town square. The shopkeepers are very friendly and will enjoy striking up a conversation with you.

This place is a hoot. Featured on the CBS Sunday Morning news program on Nov. 22, 2009, the specialty here is pie. We can personally testify that the apple and cherry pies are to die for, as the saying goes.
Favorite Dish: Pie, of course!
in November 2009, whole pies were $17.00 plus tax.
In February 2013, a berry pie was nearly $25 including taxes.

Round top is located in Central Texas a little ways off of State Highway 71 between Austin and Columbus. Although it is out of the way, it sustains a cluster of antique and gift shops, a small town......
Bud the Pie Man: Round Top, Texas
On the morning of November 22, 2009, we were in Austin, Texas, preparing to leave for Houston. Our tv happened to be tuned to CBS and the "CBS Sunday Morning" news program. That morning the theme was...
