This spring tour marks Day 4 of the club’s five-day adventure, which began at the Pioneer Flight Museum near Kingsbury, Texas. Unlike a journey focused on racking up miles, this carefully curated tour brought participants to hidden gems along Texas’s backroads, with stops at historic sites, one-room schoolhouses, quaint hardware stores, and family-run eateries.

Highlights included a stop at the DeWitt County Historical Museum, affectionately referred to as the “House Where History Lives.” The visit added another layer of nostalgia as the group learned about the area’s deep ties to Texas heritage.

This personal connection made the visit even more meaningful.
