Destination Bryan launches new walking, driving tours detailing the city’s history

Destination Bryan announced July 15 that it has launched two new tours for walking downtown and driving around the city, hoping to bring attention to the city’s history.

In a nutshell

The walking tour, which takes people through Historic Downtown Bryan, features 35 different stops and various facts about infrastructure and different areas of downtown. The entire tour can take up to an hour and a half, but Destination Bryan said participants can “choose stops for a shorter walk.” Downtown also features shops, restaurants and events residents can visit throughout the tour.

The driving tour features 18 stops throughout the city, including the Brazos Valley African American Museum, the Texas A&M University RELLIS campus and Boonville Heritage Park. Destination Bryan said the drive can be as short as an hour, but all are encouraged to take as long as they would like.

Dig deeper

Destination Bryan has created a digital passport for those who are interested in taking the tours. The tours are free, self-guided and can be completed at the leisure of those doing them. Destination Bryan also has resources for Bryan's vast ties with arts, culture and museums dedicated to preserving the city's history.

One more thing

The city is also offering points earned along the way to be redeemed for a prize.
