Walker Honey Farm / Wildflower Tour
Saturday, April 5th

Meet @ north side of Georgetown Square.
Leave at 8:00 AM
Our appointment for our Tour is at 10:00AM and we must be there at 9:45AM. Since our arrival time is so early, we will take a relatively direct route to the Walker Honey Farm.

After our tour of the Walker Honey Farm, we are going to have lunch at the Oscar Store. Oscar, which was also known as Jones Gin, is on Little Elm Creek and Farm Road 3117 six miles east of Temple in eastern Bell County. It was founded by Czechs in the late nineteenth century and had a post office from 1892 to 1904. In 1896 Oscar reported a population of 115, a cotton gin, a hotel, a general store, a blacksmith, and a barber. The original Oscar Store was built in 1934 and run by Rudy and Grace Schiller. In 2005, the building was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Thomas Maddux rebuilt and reopened the Oscar Store in 2009.

After lunch, we will be able to take a more leisurely route back to Georgetown. Along our route, we will go over Sparks Bridge. Of course we will not be able to cross the original bridge, but it will definitely be a site to see. We are looking forward to a great tour.

If you would like to meet us along the way, please let me know.
