Before exploring the city, visit the Heritage House Museum, housed in a two-story 1913 Queen Anne home. This museum features an original pig pen and a rainwater harvest system so you can see how agriculture helped develop the city. With over 15 parks, 30.5 miles of trails and 528 acres of open space, there is a range of outdoor recreation for you to discover. Pfluger Park, along Gilleland Creek, is one of the city’s larger parks and is the site of the city’s annual German festival. Grab your steins and head over to Deutschen Pfest, held on the third weekend in May. In addition to this city-wide festival, the park is also home to the Fallen Warrior Memorial, a tribute to those who fought for our country. You can explore the park by trail alongside Gilleland Creek or picnic under large shaded trees for a truly spectacular retreat.
Another must-see is Lake Pflugerville, a 180-acre reservoir open for fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, jogging, wind surfing and more in Pflugerville, TX.
