Chairman’s
Message
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce,
Welcome to Washington County! Whether you’re here for a day or for a lifetime, we hope this 2017 edition of the Chamber magazine will give you a small glimpse of all that Washington County has to offer. What kind of community is Washington County? If you ask the 800+ Chamber Member businesses, you’d probably get different answers like,“a great place to raise a family,” or “a prosperous place to own a business.” But one answer all of them will agree on is that Washington County is “home.” Home is where your roots are and ours are just about the deepest you can find in Texas. Proudly known as the “Birthplace of Texas”, Washington County is not only home for our State, but also home for many thriving businesses, the 33,000+ people who live and work here, and the 200,000 + tourists who visit every year for bluebonnets, beautiful scenery, festivals, and more. Why have so many chosen to make this community home? Washington County is blessed with top-notch schools, wonderful medical facilities that are dedicated to caring for the health wellness of the community, great options for dining and entertainment, antiques, art, Blue Bell, Blinn College, and many, many more fine businesses. Take all these elements and put them in the most beautiful land in the Great State of Texas and what have you got? Home. From our rich cultural past, our vibrant present, and our promising future, welcome to Washington County. Welcome home.

Promoting Tourism in Washington County Brenham is not only a wonderful place to reside it’s a great place to visit.
Be sure to stop by the new Washington County Visitor Center inside the restored Simon Theatre in historic Downtown Brenham (115 W. Main St).
That’s where the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) steps in. Operated by the Washington County Chamber of Commerce under a contract with the City of Brenham, the CVB serves numerous functions. Besides assembling the annual Visitor Guide filled with the unique and interesting attractions and tourism-related businesses that Washington County has to offer, the CVB staff also place advertising to attract visitors, and convention delegates and conference attendees to the area. Along with both print and online advertising programs, the CVB creates publicity and promotions to generate public awareness of events, activities and all that the city and county have to offer. In addition, staff maintains and continuously updates the visitor website, www.VisitBrenhamTexas.com. The staff works closely with group tours and convention groups to promote Brenham and Washington County.We provide “welcome gift bags” to motor coach tours, conference attendees and VIP delegations visiting the county. Promoting destination weddings in Washington County is also a focus for marketing efforts.The Chamber-CVB partners with other agencies, associations and businesses, as needed, to promote this very special destination.The work of this department benefits every resident and every business, whether or not tourism-related. All these efforts combine to bring visitors who spend dollars in our communities, shop in beautiful downtown stores, sample many area restaurants and overnight in area hotels and bed & breakfast lodging properties. Chamber-CVB staff members also annually prepare a marketing plan and budget (separate from the Chamber’s operations budget) that the city’s Hotel Occupancy Tax board must approve and recommend to the City for adoption before any hotel occupancy tax dollars are expended. The use of these tax dollars is strictly governed by State Tax Code and, in general, must be devoted to advertising and public relations efforts that promote visitors, tourists and conventions to come to Brenham and Washington County. The Visitor Center and CVB staff are located in the 1925 Simon Theatre building at 115 W. Main Street in downtown Brenham. The visitor center, theatre lobby and second floor ballroom are beneficiaries of the recent Simon restoration. In addition, the restored 1925 theatre will provide space for meetings, parties, conferences and other activities. An adjacent building will provide restrooms for the theatre space as well as smaller meeting rooms, when completed.
The efforts of the Chamber’s CVB are focused and directed to promoting Washington County... as a great destination for family fun, adventure and relaxation. The 2017 VISITOR GUIDE is available FREE upon request!

Stephen F. Austin chose the area between the Brazos and Colorado Rivers for his original settlers because it was fertile land and it was a beautiful land. Washington County is truly the “birth place of Texas” and has played an important pivotal part in the history of Texas. Many historic sites and museums in Washington County offer a glimpse of that history and help to tell the story of early Texas. It is not just the beauty and the history that make Washington County special. The people make it special. Yes, there are direct descendants of the original settlers but most of us are those who have chosen Washington County for their home and are a down to earth, friendly, charitable people who will make your visit special and you will be glad you had a chance to meet. We are proud of our community and on behalf of the Commissioners Court we are glad you came to visit and hope you come back often. If you are thinking of moving to Washington County you’ll find we welcome with open arms down to earth, friendly, charitable folks. They are a good fit for us and we will be a good fit for you.
The city of Brenham is proud of its history and the stories we have to tell. We love to share them with new residents, old friends and visitors alike.

Message
As a fifth generation Texan and the Texas State Representative who represents Washington County, it is a pleasure to welcome you to an extraordinary place steeped in Texas history. It was in this very county that a group of patriots birthed a nation named the Republic of Texas. Modern day Washington County is a vibrant community with great public schools, wonderful businesses such as the Blue Bell Creamery, and caring people surrounded by beautiful farmlands and rolling hills. We are especially proud of the seasonal bluebonnets, our state flower, that color our landscape. I hope you enjoy your time here in Washington County, or as I like to call it, "God's Country!" Please let us know if we can be of any assistance.

COMMUNITY Health Care C O M M U N I T Y
Brenham residents are fortunate to have many excellent choices for health care providers: from hospitals and clinics to a wide range of specialists, home health care services, nursing homes and more. In this article, you can read about the three major systems in our local health care community.
Baylor Scott & White Health is a new name for our community, but our roots in Brenham are deep and our commitment strong. In April 2016, Scott & White Hospital – Brenham announced our new name: Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Brenham. This represents two nationally recognized leaders in health care joining forces to strengthen the diagnostic and treatment services within Washington County, making us part of the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in the state of Texas. It is the culmination of a merger with Scott & White Healthcare in 2010 and then subsequently with Baylor Health Care System in 2013. Throughout that time, we have made substantial gains in clinical quality with numerous recognitions for excellence in clinical care. National and state honors include designation as an advanced (Level III) stroke center in 2014, recognition from the Joint Commission as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for Surgical Care, and receipt of the Texas Healthcare Quality Improvement Silver Award for improving performance on national quality measures. We continue to invest in recruiting quality physicians, adding fulltime specialists in cardiology, internal medicine, orthopedics, general surgery, and obstetrics/ gynecology as well as growing the number of primary care providers. Through the clinical care of visiting physicians, community members also have local access to specialties including cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, general surgery, nephrology, pain management, and podiatry. To best equip the clinical staff, Baylor Scott & White Health has invested in the latest medical technology.Additions include the opening of an imaging center that includes bone density screening and digital mammography as well as renovations for a non-invasive cardiac lab that offers a complete diagnostic stress-testing menu that includes
28
Washington County Magazine 2017 Edition
exercise stress tests, pharmacologically induced stress tests, nuclear stress tests, echocardiograms, cardiac tilt table testing as well as arterial and venous doppler exams. The medical center also installed computers in all patient rooms, upgraded all monitoring systems, and implemented our electronic medical record system (Epic) for streamlined physician communication. Through the MyBSWHealth portal, patients have easy access to their electronic medical records, the ability to view test results, and the option to schedule appointments. We have made significant investments into local facilities, including the remodel of the first floor of Professional Center I to include orthopedic offices and X-ray services as well as the remodel of the third floor which houses Scott & White Clinic – Hwy. 290. In addition, the hospital has invested in renovations of the emergency department, lab, the intensive care unit, women’s services rooms, the birth center, and medical/surgical rooms. Baylor Scott & White Health is committed to serving the community, providing more than 2.8 million dollars in community benefit through health screenings, events, and resources. Wellness Center programs and services include health fairs, an American Diabetes Associationrecognized Diabetes Education Center, educational programs on chronic health conditions, support groups, and nutrition education classes. In addition, the Wellness Center annually hosts Seniors Day, a community-wide event featuring screenings, refreshments, and resources for more than 500 participants. Baylor Scott & White Health also works in partnership with Washington County and Faith Mission of Brenham to operate a community clinic that provides non-emergency health services, medications, and counseling to those who are on the economic margins. As the Washington County community continues to grow, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Brenham will continue to play a critical role as the only trauma center on U.S. Highway 290 between Houston and Austin. To better accommodate this growth, emergency department underwent extensive renovations.Through the implementation of state-of-the-art medical software and efficient check-in procedures, greatly reducing the average wait time for patients in our emergency department. The Birth Center provides a beautiful backdrop for “Special Deliveries.” A variety of services and birthing, nursing, and childcare courses are available through the Center. The Birth Center’s technology includes a high-tech infant security system and a state-of-the-art fetal monitoring system. The Birth Center staff, which includes the addition of a full-time lactation consultant, has more than 500 years of combined nursing experience and a passion to provide the best care for both moms and babies. Each of the Baylor Scott & White Health facilities, including Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Brenham, Scott & White Family Practice, Scott & White Hwy. 290 Clinic, Scott & White Wellness Center, and the Scott & White Physical Rehabilitation Center, all participate in a rigorous survey process and are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. From our convenient locations and hours to our large network of physicians, specialists and advanced technology, we strive to meet all your health needs to ensure that our community receives quality care close to home.

The Brenham Clinic has been faithfully and compassionately serving Washington and surrounding counties for the past 59 years. The founders of Brenham Clinic, Dr. W.F. Hasskarl, Sr., Dr. W.F. Hasskarl, Jr., and Dr.Thomas Giddings, began with a shared passion for providing high-quality healthcare to the Washington County area.

This comprehensive breast diagnostic program allows women to receive their digital mammogram and their preliminary results on the same day, relieving the anxiety and worry that are common while waiting on mammography results.

The Clinic is especially proud of its heritage and the role they play in shaping the health and well-being of the community every day.

FIRE The Brenham Fire Department was created by City ordinance on June 10, 1867. The company was founded, on the surface, to protect against fire, but in actuality, it was created as a military organization to protect the lives and property of citizens from Union soldiers stationed here during the Reconstruction era. In May, 1879, the BFD became the proud owner of a new Silsby Steam Engine, which could pump 600 gallons per minute. It was designed to be drawn by hand or by horses. The historically preserved engine now sits in a special exhibit next door to the Brenham Heritage Museum. The current BFD has 15 paid Fireman including a Fire Chief, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal, Deputy Fire Marshal, 3 Captains and 9 Apparatus Operators, plus an administrative assistant and over 50 volunteers. The BFD responds to over 500 emergency calls a year. They provide rescue services, first-responder fire suppression, technical rescue and
hazardous materials mitigation within Washington County. The BFD performs smoke detector service checks, home fire safety assessments, pre-incident planning surveys, and flood water removal services within the City. The Fire Marshal’s Office works with contractors to assist in code compliance for fire alarms and suppression systems being installed in new and remodeled commercial and industrial buildings. During Fire Prevention Month in October, the BFD educates children from Pre-K through 4th grade about fire safety presented by the Fire Marshal, BFD staff members and Mascot, Sparky. Also offered are Department and Museum tours, County Fair Presentations, National Night Out visits, employee training for businesses & industries with hands-on operating of a Fire Extinguisher. The members of the BFD own and operate the Fireman’s Training Center. This popular facility provides an important service to the community and is utilized year-round for social and business events. Dept. members host two annual fundraisers: Spring Fish Fry and Fireman’s Fiesta held in August. The BFD Ladies Auxiliary is a huge support to the Department with generous donations from profits of their own fundraisers. With a rich heritage and many accomplishments to their credit, the members of the Brenham Fire Department look forward to an even greater future with the same objectives as in 1867, “To Serve the Community.”

An Expanding Local Economy Growing Businesses and the Community According to studies done by the Houston Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Washington County has one of "the most solid" economies for a rural community in Texas. Washington County's healthy economy is bolstered by a number of factors: population growth, job creation, diversity of employment, location, retail sector, tourism, com-paratively low taxes, and a superb quality of life. Due to the upsurge of nearby major metropolitan areas and a shift in the job market, the population in Washington County saw a resurgence in the last two decades. From 2000 to 2014, the population in the county increased by 13% from 30,373 to 34,765. During the same time period Texas had an increase of 32%. This population growth is not only a result of a healthy economy, but also a quality of life that attracts both businesses and families. As an example of business growth, 40 major expansions have occurred since 2000 by local manufacturers and a substantially increased number of retail establishments have called Washington County home. Coupled with an influx of outside dollars (primarily from tourism) and its increase in population, Washington County has witnessed a 636% increase in gross sales during the period 2002 to 2015 (from $1,087,888,518 total annual sales to $8,010,595,451). Tied with increases in local sales, the county possesses strong export sales, including oil & gas, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail to outside residents. A total of 1,794 new jobs have been added to the payroll during the period 2001 to 2015, with most of those occurring in the areas of manufacturing, professional services, retail, wholesale and governmental. A remarkable diversity allows our local economy to be independent of single industry fluctuations, thus avoiding the severe economic downturns that some rural communities experience. Currently,Washington County supports a labor force of almost 15,900 employees and has experienced an average unemployment rate of 4.8% in 2015. Brenham State Supported Living Center and Blue Bell Creameries rank as the county's largest employers. Major manufacturers and wholesalers include Tempur-Sealy, Valmont Industries, Emerson, RR Donnelly, Brenham Wholesale Grocery, and MIC Group. Other major employers include the educational systems, primarily Blinn College and Brenham ISD; and professional businesses, including Germania Insurance’s state headquarters and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center.

Washington County Magazine 2017 Edition
The average household income in the county was $61,721, according to the U.S. Census. As an example of economic growth, the Bureau of Economic Analysis recently released numbers that showed Total Personal Income in Washington County had risen by 103% from 2000 to 2014.This figure ranks above other communities in the region. The TPI combined with a comparatively low tax rate equates to a standard of living attractive both to employers and employees. Also of key importance to residents and businesses is Brenham's excellent location. In fact, 72% of the state's population lives within a 210-mile radius of Brenham. Located in the "golden triangle" or “core” of Texas, Brenham's proximity to Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas allows it to serve as a nucleus for manufacturing, retail and tourism. Additionally, Brenham serves as an employment hub for an eightcounty region. Within 20 miles of Brenham’s Hwy. 290 and Hwy. 36 intersection, there is currently an estimated population of 60,776. Whether you’re coming as a visitor, a family looking to relocate, or an expanding or budding business, Washington County has an economy that supports a superior quality of life. Another example of Brenham's strong economy is its thriving downtown district, which in just the last two years has seen a considerable influx of new businesses and building occupancy. The City of Brenham has participated in the Main Street downtown revitalization program for the past 16 years, and the results are impressive. Brenham's central location, its business diversity, progressive local vision and great quality of life are melding together to ensure a bright economic future. The residents of Washington County pride themselves in the quality growth and steady expansion the community has experienced over the last few decades. You are now invited to become a part of our future.

A Memory Just Waiting to Happen Downtown Brenham
Main Street Brenham continually works to enhance and promote this National Register District at the heart of Brenham. Local artists have the opportunity to take a bow in the spring and display their talents when Main Street hosts the “Spring Eggs Art Walk” near Easter, and elementary school classes and local businesses and individuals take the stage when decorating downtown during the “Scarecrow Extravaganza” in the fall. Downtown sits back and toe-taps its way through Saturday nights in July as the “Hot Nights. Cool Tunes Summer Concert Series” is presented on the square. Great entertainment – free to all – is offered as shade hits the east side of the courthouse!
Working to improve the downtown “experience” is key to the city’s revitalization efforts, and numerous volunteers help make it happen. These volunteers add to work being done by business owners, property owners, and city and Chamber of Commerce staff members. Downtown improvements are truly a community-driven effort! You’ll find dining and shopping options are abundant and varied. This, along with wonderful lodging opportunities, visitor-friendly public restroom facilities, the oasis of Alamo Alley, an inviting streetscape and the new Antique Fire Truck Museum at the Brenham Heritage Museum help make downtown a memory just waiting to happen.
Brenham's Christmas Stroll and Lighted Parade highlight the first weekend in December. Choirs, instrumental entertainment provide holiday sounds while delightful shopping venues sparkle along the beautifully lighted downtown streets. And, a nighttime lighted parade brings Santa to town. Even more fun and continued improvements are on the horizon, as the public and private sectors work together to keep Downtown Brenham thriving. The Uptown Swirl in Downtown Brenham each January allows attendees to buy a keepsake glass and stroll from shop to shop to taste great wines from all over the world.

Washington County Life Brief History Why is Washington County known as the Birthplace of Texas? It was on March 2, 1836, that a delegation of 59 men gathered at Washington-on-the-Brazos to determine what course of action to take to protect themselves from the tyrannical Mexican government that was ruling the land. A few days later, news of the massacre at the Alamo reached the men in Washington. Under Sam Houston’s direction, the delegates carried out their mission to draft a Declaration of Independence and establish a constitution for a new nation. They declared Texas a “FREE, SOVEREIGN, and INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC.” Etched in the history books forever is Washington County, the “Birthplace of Texas.” Brenham is the county seat for this historic and scenic region. The area was opened to settlement in 1821 under the Spanish and was one of the earliest settled areas in Texas. The county was formally organized in 1837 in the heart of Stephen F. Austin’s original colony. Pioneers from all parts of the United States and immigrants from western Europe flocked to Austin’s colony for its liberal land grants. German immigration began in Washington County in the 1840s and increased after the Civil War. The county is very proud of its German heritage demonstrated at the annual Maifest celebration. Brenham was established in 1844 and named for Richard Fox Brenham, a hero of the Texas Republic and the Mier Expedition. It was occupied by Federal troops after the Civil War, and they burned much of the city in 1866 following a confrontation with local citizens. Of the four colleges originally founded in Washington County, Blinn College, established in 1883, is still a thriving part of the community today. Downtown Brenham is the heart and soul of the community and features a wide array of antiques and specialty shops throughout the historic “Main Street” district.
Burton was originally located about two miles northwest of its present site. It was first known as Kerr Settlement, then later called Union Hill. When the railroad bypassed Union Hill, the settlement shifted around 1870 to property on the railroad line previously owned by John and Elizabeth Burton. This site became the terminal for the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. Cotton farming reigned in Burton and, as a result, the city prospered throughout the late 1800s. In spite of its small population of 325, Burton has managed to hold on to its post office, school district and bank. It has its own police force, fire department, and water and sewer systems. The old Burton Cotton Gin has been restored and it attracts thousands of tourists each year. The town of Washington holds a unique place in Texas history, and today you will find Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site and the Star of the Republic Museum on its original site. The museum interprets the saga of the Republic of Texas through state-of-the-art exhibits, and a Children’s Discovery Center allows young people to experience history through hands-on activities. The period also comes to life at the Barrington Living History Farm complex where visitors can experience a working farm of the 1850’s. You can spend some time in the Visitor Center with interactive exhibits, enjoy a picnic lunch on the beautiful park grounds next to the Brazos River, explore interpretive trails and tour the museum. Plus, each year on the weekend nearest to March 2, the Texas Independence Day Celebration is held to recognize this pivotal event in Texas history.

Washington County Life Chappell Hill was founded in 1847 by Mary Hargrove Haller, granddaughter of Robert Wooding Chappell, for whom she named the town. Her husband, Jacob, was the town’s first postmaster. The tiny town prides itself on having established two colleges, Chappell Hill Female College and Soule University, along with five churches. Soule University later became part of what is now Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Chappell Hill prospered in the early days and the town became a popular stagecoach stop for travelers between Houston, Austin and Waco. The elegant Stagecoach Inn still sets on the corner of Main and Chestnut Streets, its Greek Revival-style architecture featuring highly detailed cornices with downspouts that bear the Lone Star and the 1851 date they were added. The Civil War and Reconstruction era brought violent changes to Chappell Hill.The yellow fever epidemic of 1867 also took a toll, nearly wiping out the community. Nevertheless, the town survived all of this and entered a new era of growth and prosperity while maintaining its rich heritage.The Chappell Hill Historical Museum illustrates the region’s history with fascinating exhibits and artifacts.
Independence was originally called “Coles Settlement.”The town had its beginning in 1824 on land granted by Mexico to Judge John P. Coles, who came to Texas in 1821 as one of Austin’s 300 colonists. In 1836 the community was renamed Independence in honor of Texas’ declaration of freedom from Mexico. In 1839, a Baptist church was established and its congregation still meets today. The Independence Baptist Church is now the oldest continuously operating Baptist church in the state. Sam Houston attended church and was baptized there, and legend has it that following his baptism in the creek, Houston said, “I pity the fish downstream.” Houston’s mother-in-law was so thrilled with his transformation that she had a large iron bell created and presented it to the church with gratitude. The Texas Baptist Historical CenterMuseum features this bell, along with many other early Texas history exhibits. Independence is also home to the original site of Baylor University, founded in 1846. The university was moved to Waco in 1886, but the ruins of Old Baylor still stand, surrounded by a peaceful park and playground area. This park is renowned as one of the best places in the state to see bluebonnets in the spring. At the peak of the season, the landscape mirrors the sky and Old Baylor is covered in a sea of blue flowers.

Do you like scavenger hunts? Do you like technology and gadgets? Do you enjoy being outdoors? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, geocaching may be a great new hobby to explore! Geocaching is essentially a world-wide treasure hunt. You play by using a handheld GPS device or an app on your smartphone. Since its inception in 2000, geocaching is now done by more than 6 million people. They enjoy searching for hidden objects all over the globe, as well as meeting others to socialize and for competition events. The greatest part about geocaching isn’t necessarily the hunt, the most fun is had while on the journey. Geocaching takes you to places you never knew existed, all around the world! Individuals have been hiding geocaches and posting them for others to find on Geocaching.com for years. Now organizations like Texas Parks & Wildlife, Chambers of Commerce, Convention & Visitors Bureaus, and even National Parks are getting involved in the action.Why? Because geocachers love to travel! Many destinations have created organized “GeoTours” to give geocachers a reason to visit their area and most offer a reward for finding all their caches. This is an added bonus to the geocaching fun.

In December 2012, our Chamber-CVB created the “Birthplace of Texas GeoTour,” the first official GeoTour in the state of Texas. The Washington County GeoTour takes you to historical sites and popular attractions throughout Brenham, Burton, Chappell Hill, Independence and Washington. Geocachers earn points by finding hidden caches, sleeping, eating and shopping throughout Washington County. As a reward for completing the GeoTour, geocachers receive a collectible, two sided, full-color geocoin. More than 400 people have completed the tour since its launch four years ago. Visitors from 8 countries and 36 states have visited Brenham/Washington County because of the GeoTour. One geocacher commented,“We’re from British Columbia and came to Brenham specifically to do this GeoTour!”Another said,“This is a great way to learn about Texas history and see the area.We’ve been here several times, but the GeoTour took us to places we didn’t know existed.” And many exclaim,“We had a blast! This is a beautiful area to visit & we will return soon!” We invite you to enjoy discovering our local GeoTour while enjoying the many fun and interesting sites along the way. Learn more about geocaching and download a Passport at www.VisitBrenhamTexas.com.
