EXPERIENCE LIBERTY HILL
"Daytripping" in Liberty Hill O
ver the years, a now-thriving Liberty Hill has attracted an abundance of new businesses, residential developments, and recently, "The Daytripper". The PBS show follows Texplorer Chet Garner as he explores both the well-known landmarks and hidden gems of Lone Star towns, inspiring Texans to find fun experiences in their own backyards. Adding Liberty Hill to the list was a moment Chet has been waiting for. “Every season, we sit down and say, ‘We need some Hill Country episodes.’ It’s a matter of what’s come along enough, and I’ve been sitting on the outside of Liberty Hill in Georgetown watching this city change. There’s so much now in Liberty Hill. It’s time.” His traveling adventure took him across Liberty Hill in February to dining destinations like Parker’s Corner Market and Dahlia Cafe, Hell or High Water Brewing, the
Liberty Hill International Sculpture Park, and a hike at the Balcones Canyonlands. One of his favorite moments was meeting Terry Tunes, an artist who creates sculptures out of toys. Overall, Chet says he simply enjoyed experiencing a new town. “Anytime I get to come to a town, eat a burger, and drink a craft beer, it’s fun. It’s about the places you go and the people you meet. It’s about bumping into people you wouldn’t normally have a chance to meet,” he says. Enjoy a broadcast tour of Liberty Hill during the next episode of "The Daytripper" on May 19, 21, and 22 on PBS, or stream at thedaytripper.com.
