Only about 1,300 people live in this tiny Texas town, but it’s full of adventures. Take a breezy 45-minute drive northwest of Austin and experience the simple life. Bertram, Texas was founded in 1882 and operated as a quaint cotton shipping point in the early 1900s. You can still feel its classic charm as you walk the streets today. Visit the wineries, dine at the historic restaurants, and soak up the unique atmosphere. This is one delightful small town day trip you’ll want to take this Fall.

There’s a little slice of history everywhere you turn.

Austin Steam Train/Facebook The Bertram Train Depot stands as a lovely little reminder of days gone by. The original train depot was built in 1882 and operated until 1937. The site was sadly demolished in 1964, and it sat vacant for several decades. Thanks to the Austin Steam Train Association, Bertram has their beautiful train station back! The organization got their hands on a vintage 1912 train depot from Orange Grove, Texas in the late ’90s. They decided that Bertram was the perfect spot for this Texas relic. Today, the train depot serves customers on the Hill Country Flyer trains. You can still see the original cast iron and wood bench inside.

Venture to the Globe Theater and pretend like you’re visiting the 1930s.
