n behalf of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, welcome to historic Colorado County, named after the river that runs through it and to Columbus, the county seat. Known for its Republic-era history and its lovingly restored Victorian homes, Columbus is a refreshingly relaxing get-away that has retained its charm and natural beauty, while simultaneously embracing the modern amenities expected of today’s traveler. Elegant and energetic with a personality that is authentically Texas, Columbus has captured the hearts and minds of generations. Explore Columbus and like those before you, you’ll discover an oak strewn oasis intersected with scenic riverbanks, brackish creeks, shallow bays and roadways filled with wildflowers. You’ll also find a town alive with museums, art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, a first-class healthcare Kim Dyer and surgical center, the Texas Crossroads Business Park Columbus Chamber of Commerce and a nice array of outdoor recreational facilities. Executive Director During your stay, make your first stop the Chamber of Commerce located downtown on the first floor of the Stafford Opera House. Designed by Galveston architect Nicholas Clayton, the Opera House is host to a small museum, monthly dinner theater, exhibits, weddings and galas. Ask about our Talking Houses program, a self-guided audio tour designed to enhance your visit to our historic sites with the assistance of your car radio. Then, begin your walking tour. While downtown, visit the Live Oak Art Center, discretely tucked inside a 19th centuryera saloon known as the Brunson Building. Also downtown are the Confederate Memorial Museum, which is housed in an old water tower that now resembles a castle turret and the Colorado County Courthouse, which features a stunning stained glass dome in the second floor district courtroom. Within walking distance are the 1836 Alley Log Cabin, a Santa Claus Museum and the Nesbitt Memorial Library, host to an extensive doll collection and array of literary and musical events. While in Columbus, take time out to shop our unique boutiques where you are sure to fulfill both your practical needs and your most whimsical desires. Before departing, you’ll want to drive by and take a peek at our large Live Oak, once listed on the Registry of Big Trees as the second largest in the state. Visit any time of year and you are sure to find something to do. Thanks to the town’s natural beauty, gently rolling hills and easy river access, Columbus is becoming an amateur athlete’s paradise. Bike races and 5k runs have long been popular events and in recent years, the river has been a select site for canoe races and championships. Due to our designation as an Inland Paddling Trail by Texas Parks and Wildlife, canoeing is gaining in popularity as a family friendly activity. Special events are Columbus’ specialty. Whether it is the irreverent and witty Live Oaks and Dead Folks Cemetery Tour hosted each fall by the Nesbitt Memorial Library, Ladies’ Night Out, dinner theatres at the Historic Stafford Opera House, a rocking concert at the County Fairgrounds, a cattle auction, the annual Live Oak Festival hosted each spring, or a Town and Country Homes Tour, Columbus has something to offer just about everyone any time of year. To learn more, log onto our website at www.columbustexas.org or just give us a call at 979-732-8385. We would love to talk with you! 3
