Dr. Pepper Museum and Free Enterprise Institute

Vintage advertisements, signs, and a preserved 1940s delivery truck tell the story of Dr. Pepper products inside this century-old bottling plant. The soft drink was created in Waco, Texas in 1885.

Magnolia Market at the Silos

Head to this charming two-block market to shop home goods, get lunch at one of a dozen food trucks, tour the garden and garden store, or pick up treats at an on-site bakery. Live music and events are common in the summer.

Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum

Located on the banks of the Brazos River, this museum preserves the history of the Texas Rangers, collecting Lipan Apache arrows alongside badges, uniforms, and case files. Regularly scheduled talks by Rangers are a highlight.
