Fun fact: Abe Lincoln is a distant cousin :) Chappell Hill and Washington County History: Chappell Hill is known for its historic architecture, rich cultural heritage, Bluebonnet Festival in Spring and Scarecrow Festival in the Fall. Located Washington County, it was founded in 1847. It is located inside Stephen F. Austin's original colony, who is known as the "Father of Texas" and played a significant role in the colonization of Texas by bringing the first group of American settlers to the region in 1821. He was appointed by the Mexican government as an empresario (and agent) to bring 300 families to settle in Texas. Most of the German immigrants who settled here were primarily farmers and craftsmen (including my ancestors!). They were attracted to the area by the fertile soil and the promise of land ownership. They brought with them their language, culture, and traditions. They established their own communities, built churches, and established schools that taught in the German language. They also introduced new crops to the area, such as grapes and peaches. The birthplace of Texas is considered to be Washington-on-the-Brazos. In 1836, delegates from across Texas met in 1836 to sign the Texas Declaration of Independence, officially declaring Texas as a separate republic from Mexico. This event paved the way for the Texas Revolution and is considered a critical moment in Texas history. Today, there are several historical sites and museums that commemorate this important event, including the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site and the Star of the Republic Museum where folks can learn more about the people and events that shaped the early history of Texas.
