Easter on the Bluff is this Saturday in La Grange

This Saturday, April 16, Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill State Historic Sites will host Easter on the Bluff, reminiscent of a once a popular social occasion at the Bluff Schuetzenverein Pavilion. This year’s event will feature interpretive programs and a children’s egg hunt. Attendees are welcome to bring their own picnics, beverages, and chairs or blankets.
The egg hunt at the park will begin at 6:30 p.m. This is a shot from previous Easter hunt there.

All Aboard For Easter

The most people in decades boarded a train at the La Grange Depot on Saturday. A shiny “Texas Special” loaded up passengers for a “kiddie park” style train ride around the parking lot. “Engineer” Gary Lincke drives the train as “Gate Agent” Andrew Baker (at left in yellow shirt) makes sure everyone’s hands are safely inside the cars. Saturday’s event was part of the 125th anniversary celebration in 2022 for the Historic Katy Depot.
