Bellville, Texas is between Houston and Austin.

This is the perfect little town where you can spend a full day visiting and doing all sorts of fun activities. Many of the activities must be scheduled, so you'll want to be sure to call ahead and make your reservations. The following are just a few of the things you can do during your vacation stay in the area.

Forge a Sword At Phenix Knives.

Cowboy Szymanski’s claim to fame was appearing on the History Channel’s show, Forged in Fire. His blades are made to last for generations and he forges them in a 3,000-degree fire in a building that has been a blacksmith’s shop for over a hundred years. You can purchase one of their knives (or have one made to your specifications).

Austin County Jail Museum.

Bellville chose the coolest of all locations for their history museum, the county jail. The jail was built in 1986 and operated for nearly a hundred years. Learn Bellville’s history (founded by two brothers who formed part of the Old 300) and get a fun shot of yourself behind the bars. Their opening hours are very limited, so it is recommended to call in advance to reserve your tour ahead of time.

Shop Downtown.

When in any small Texas town it's always a good idea to go shopping. You never know what sort of treasure you’ll find. In the late 1880s, there were six saloons alone on Bellville’s downtown square. Unfortunately, they’re long gone but the antique shops and boutiques that took their place are equally entertaining. One shop you can visit is Nothing Ordinary Antiques on 123 E Main Street. At this antique shop, you'll find sellers operating independent booths so you are guaranteed to find unique knick-knacks of all kinds.

The Meat Market.

When in Texas, you'll want to try some BBQ or grill up your own. Visit the Bellville Meat Market, just across the traffic light from Newman’s Bakery, to pick up one of their specialties like jerky, sausage links, or tamales. If you’d rather not do the cooking you can pick up a prepared meal, like enormous baked potatoes made to your liking.
