October 9   8:45 am Meet at MUD building George Ranch Historical Park

 

 

Please join the ladies of the Northampton Home and Garden Club on Thursday October 9th as they take a journey to a place and time where cattle and cotton were king, and Texas was a country all its own- the historical George Ranch Historical Park in Richmond TX. The George Ranch was originally settled in 1824 and is still a working ranch to this day. Guests are welcomed to accompany us on this trip back in time where we will visit the 1830’s Jones Stock Farm, the 1860’s Ryon Prairie Home, the 1890’s Davis Victorian Mansion, and the 1930’s George Ranch Complex (complete with a look at the cattle operations!).  We will then sit down a spell and  enjoy a Belle Café Lunch.
