Round Top

Round Top may be one of the smallest incorporated towns in Texas, but it punches well above its weight. Its famous antique fairs happen three times a year — the two big ones in spring and fall, plus a smaller winter show in January — drawing collectors and shoppers from across the U.S. each time, with the fair spanning miles and spilling into nearby Warrenton too. Beyond the antique season, you'll find the acclaimed Round Top Festival Institute (classical music performances in a stunning venue), the historic Bethlehem Lutheran Church (the oldest Lutheran sanctuary in Texas), boutique shopping, and several excellent wineries just outside town.
