Explore Austin’s History

Austin is a city filled with a rich history. Sometimes, when you want to get out with your significant other, it can be fun to explore these historic spots and learn something new while you’re enjoying time together. The Texas State Capitol is one popular place to see and tour. You can experience the amazing architecture and décor of this government building while discovering more about the Texas government. If old cemeteries are your thing, the OakwoodCemetery has few rivals as far as history and beauty. Or just take a walk through the Bremond Block Historic District and see all the beautiful Victorian homes. And if you feel like making a day of it, there are plenty of history walks and other guided tours that will aim you in the right direction to see the best of what Austin has to offer.
