Freeport, TX

The Brazos River has played a significant part of the history of Freeport. In the 1800s steamships and other boats carrying passengers and goods for trade traveled the river extensively. The banks were lined by plantations and used for transportation and business. The rising and falling waters of the river caused continuous flooding of the towns of Freeport and Valasco. Eventually, dams and a lock changed the river. Finally, it was rerouted and diverted to the west leaving the Old Brazos River as what appears today as a salt water lake.

Galveston is a great place to live and to visit. There is constant activity and there is no way to list all that there is to see and do. The beach offers seemingly endless stretches of sand with a boardwalk for biking and walking with restaurant and shopping stops along the way. Pedestrians, bicycles and electric and pedal carts are plentiful throughout the summer and on winter weekends. Galveston hosts a variety of festivals and events throughout the year including the Galveston Mardi Gras, the Lone Star Rally and the Dickens on The Strand festival. Galveston is also known for its haunted history, and there are several ghost tours that offer a spooky look into the city's past.
