Scattered through the Hill Country and along the Blackland Prairie of Texas are 20 extraordinary churches that brim with art. While their exteriors appear similar to many country churches, their interiors are decorated in an unexpected profusion of color. Murals radiate from altars, elaborate foliage trails the walls, angels bedeck the ceilings, and wooden columns shine like polished marble. These are the Painted Churches of Texas! Built by 19th century immigrants in this rough but promising territory, these churches will transport you to a different era, a different way of life. Join us for a docent-guided tour of four remarkable churches and explore the stories of the people who built them. Buc-ee's in Bastrop will be our morning rest stop, and the Oakridge Smokehouse will host our country lunch buffet. Ticket includes transportation, guided tour of four churches, buffet lunch with soft drink. Maximum tickets: 50 Trip Leader – Jerilee Prather |
