Columbus is one of many pivotal points along trail that goes through
Washington, Fayette, Colorado and Austin counties. The area, also known as the
"Cradle of Texas," is where Stephen F. Austin's original colony of the "Old 300"
settlers planted roots in the early 1820s. Visiting historic and scenic sights,
the trail crisscrosses the area extending north from Brenham and nearby
Washington-on-the-Brazos south to Oakland, west to La Grange and east to San
Felipe. For free map and information, contact the Columbus Chamber of Commerce.
