What to do on the Ranch?

Explore

If you are into exploring, bring your boots or sturdy walking shoes, old jeans and shirt.  The interesting terrain is a bit hilly, has a wet/dry creek to cross, and a crater formed by erosion over the years.  The cattle are curious animals, but usually keep their distance.  Sometimes guests feel more secure if they carry one of the house walking sticks.  

Photograph

If you are a photographer, amateur or professional, this is the place for wonderful photos, especially in the spring, when an amazing array of flowers covers the land.

Eat

You are welcome to sample some of the plentiful, sweet, juicy fruit of our  peach or Loquat trees that ripen in the spring, and the Figs that are ready  for eating in June.

Crash

Prefer to do nothing but hang out?  No problem!  During pleasant weather,  climb into the hammock with a good book (yours or one of ours), or simply drift off to slumber land under the Sycamore tree.  

A Moonlight Event

You may enjoy sitting around an evening cowboy campfire, toasting  marshmallows and eating S'mores. The cry of the Coyotes during the full moon and the "zzzinging" of the Cicadas and the croaking of the frogs emanating from the creek will amuse you.  And surely you will delight in spotting the Big Dipper among the blanket of stars of a clear Texas sky.

Places to Visit

Big Tin Flag Bed & Breakfast is surrounded by six Czech or German churches that are hundreds of years old and feature beautifully hand-painted walls and ceilings.  About five miles into La Grange, you will find the historical Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery, both Texas State Park attractions.

Of particular interest is the new Czech Center, which features a very large, extraordinary crystal chandelier imported from Czechoslavakia in pieces and assembled on site.  Here you may tour the several Circa 1800 homes relocated to the site.  These homes have been furnished in the original style of their day, including old photos of the large families who built and occupied the homes.  Only your donation is suggested to help maintain this tourist attraction. 

The Fayette County Courthouse sits in the middle of the town Square and is a fine example of small town courthouses.  You are welcomed to take a self-guided tour of the inside, and if you wish, sit a while in the lovely covered central courtyard.

An old stone building, once the Jail House, just off downtown's Square, is now the home of the La Grange Chamber of Commerce.  Visitors are encouraged to stop in to pick up tourist information and are welcome to see one of the preserved jail cells.

Those are just some of the sites that bring a sense of history to the area. None of them require an entrance fee.

Other interesting attractions in town include the brand new Quilt Museum, with its huge exterior painted quilt wall. This museum has become known to people from all parts of the world. 

Undoubtedly one of the biggest attractions to the La Grange area are the expansive fields of Bluebonnet and red-orange Indian Paintbrush that are in full, glorious bloom around the end of March.  On the Big Tin Flag B & B property, you can have some of your best photo shoots--in the expansive fields of blue and orange flowers.
