Cross Plains – where the sword and sorcery genre was born

A fan of Conan the Barbarian? Then pencil in a visit to the home of his creator, Robert E. Howard. The Texan was a prolific writer, penning stories not only in the pulp fiction genre, but also fantasy, historical fiction, comedy and poetry. It’s said that the boom and bust cycle of oil companies in Texas influenced many of Howard’s grim stories, before his deteriorating mental condition led to him committing suicide in the driveway of what is now the Robert E. Howard Museum. Dismissed by critics during his lifetime, Howard’s reputation has grown since his death and his stories continue to be published in various forms. The house where he lived and died is devoted to his works and was added to the U.S. Register of Historic Places in 1994.

The Caverns of Sonora

You don’t need to have a particular love of caves to appreciate the spectacular beauty of this Texas cave network. Glittering, weird and wonderful formations line every inch of the cave’s walls, roofs and floors, formed by slow-moving water containing rich mineral deposits. Discovered by accident in 1905 on ranch land belonging to the Mayfield family, it was only decades later that professional spelunkers were able to explore the cave and discover its full range of stunning speleothems. There are now a number stairs, railings and trails, enabling visitors to take in its beauty without damaging the fragile structures.

Experience the Alamo like John Wayne

The Alamo Village is a life-size replica of the 1836 city, which was built for John Wayne film The Alamo in 1957. There are only three buildings left on the historic site of the real Alamo City, surrounded by the skyscrapers of bustling Bracketteville. Today, you can visit The John Wayne Western Museum and a celebrity gallery. Since production ended on the movie, the village has been used for 12 movies about the Alamo, over 100 other western films, many documentaries and even a music video.

Ever wondered what it’s like to live in a bird’s nest?

You can get an idea with the Yippee Ki Yay Stickwork Sculptures in Austin’s Pease Park, a unique grouping of structures created from 10 tons of invasive saplings. Exploring this hands-on artwork is like being in a giant bird’s nest. In 2018, artist Patrick Dougherty and 200 volunteers collected invasive species from around the city to create the five structures, which are only expected to last around two years before deteriorating to be used as mulch for the park.

HOPE Outdoor Gallery

What do you do with a failed condo development? Recreate it as a street art hub, of course. This abandoned construction project in downtown Austin was turned into a colorful public art gallery and is in a state of continuous metamorphosis. Many residents, not happy with the Baylor Street hillside scarred by slabs of blank cement, began to create graffiti across walls, slabs and floors. Then nonprofit production group HOPE, which brings creative people together around social causes, removed the weeds and debris before opening the space to the public in 2011 for spraying and mural-painting. Today, it’s not unusual to see people scrambling over the slabs, viewing other’s work or making their own art. The gallery also hosts concerts and music video shoots.
