Cattle traveling north typically crossed the San Gabriel River near Georgetown. Today, visitors can relax or hike along the same river in San Gabriel Park, or explore Georgetown’s vibrant historic town square, home to the restored Williamson County Courthouse and the Williamson Museum. The Williamson Museum tells the story of the county’s heritage through art, artifacts, and interactive exhibits. Among these is the Cowboy Kids’ Corral, which features a model chuck wagon set up just as it might have been along the Chisholm Trail.
