The Past Is a Present at Vogelsang Antiques Emporium

A good day of antiquing starts in a familiar spot and then leads you in a new direction, a shopping experience that Vogelsang Antique Emporium has sustained for 15 years. Located in the century-old Vogelsang building in the historic downtown district, Vogelsang Antique Emporium offers a wide variety of antiques, including paintings, furniture, clothing, and books.

Aside from the antiques, Vogelsang is home to several businesses; you can begin your day at the Ol’ RR Café with a big country breakfast, pick up delicious craft jellies at Brazos River Provision Co., and then relax with a glass of wine at BR Vino. Bring the family back on the weekend to enjoy a show at Cast Theatrical, Vogelsang’s in-house live performance theater. Check out their website for the performance, shopping and dining times. Discovering new treasures and historical variety at Vogelsang Antique Emporium is a great way to spend any day.

Oyster Creek Park: Relax!

Get some exercise and enjoy the sights at Oyster Creek Park. As part of the Sugar Land Department of Parks and Recreation, Oyster Creek Park has a three-mile path running through the entire facility. It is just manageable enough for a vigorous stroll, a morning jog or a quick bike ride. Along the trail, you’ll see things along the trail like the central fountain and wonderful greenery. You’re not that far from the hustle and bustle, but far enough away for a quiet experience. But that’s not all – the facility also features picnic benches and grills for you to have a nice cookout with friends or family. Make it a point to also check out the Liberty Rose Garden! The pavilion is also available to rent for private functions.
