Located in Central Texas, almost equal distance from Austin and Waco, lies the village of Salado, Texas. In 1859 the Village was founded because the locals wanted to have access to a strong education, creating Salado College, located near a spring fed creek. Between the creek and the college Salado found itself to be a viable settlement that has stood the test of time.
The local downtown of the village boasts over 175 shops, dining and historical spots. Antique shops, boutiques, and so much more entice visitors to spend time visiting the village and exploring the historical significance of this central Texas village. Take a walking tour of the historic sites, and learn more about how the Village came about and take a step back into the past.
If you are looking for entertainment outside, the Tablerock Amphitheater is going to be the place you want to stop. Music, plays, and so much more are scheduled to perform on stage under the stars. But that’s not all, the amphitheater sits on 13 acres filled with trails for hiking and biking. A must do while visiting Salado.
If live music and theater are not what you are looking for Salado has a season of Annual events that happen throughout the year that include art, holidays and even golf. Nine different annual events are scheduled for guests to enjoy and some cross over to multiple weekends such as their Christmas Stroll. You might not want to miss the Scottish Games in November, travel back in time to see men in kilts, toss a caber, play drums and generally show off how strong they are for all to see.
If you are looking for places to stay, look no further than The Yellow House Bed and Breakfast. Located just outside of the village, Yellow House has a room for everyone. With a main house, that has four rooms, two cottages and two guest houses to rent for parties of varying sizes. Sara, your innkeeper, makes a homemade breakfast the morning of your stay that you will not want to miss. Yellow House also does special events such as a charcuterie class, cookie decorating, and cooking demonstrations. The chef kitchen is perfect for learning new techniques with friend and family.
Of course there are other places to stay such as the Historic Stagecoach Inn and your standard hotel. Take a break from the norm and step out to explore a new way to travel and stay with local accommodations. On our last visit to Salado, we wandered the village and even stopped in for a local trivia night at Chupacabra, which had a great selection of beer and wine for patrons to partake while dining.
Salado is a wonderful place to visit and you can spend any number of days in the village and still not see it all. Plan your stay and explore this little slice of Texas that is right off the interstate. You will not be disappointed with your visit.
