Conroe: A Good Place for Reminiscing
Conroe, Texas is featured today, a town less than 60 miles from Katy. When we lived in Dallas, we travelled Highway 45 but never stopped to see the town, not even for gas. Looking for a nearby town to explore on nearby roads, I suggested Conroe. I had heard the lake is huge with swimming, boating, and fishing. Repeatedly, on our trips to visit family in Houston, we would say, “We should stop to see that museum someday.”
My interest grew as I read about the Heritage Museum of Montgomery. Located on Highway 45, travel would take an hour. If we took the Grandson, the travel time would fit our timeline with no issues. An hour there, lunch, a drive through the downtown and maybe a little time to visit antique stores, or an art gallery, or perhaps visit another museum.
We found an excellent restaurant, meaning good food and customer service. After a tour around the town, we decided to take the backroads home to allow us to see the latest new buildings, homes, barns, and scenery through back roads. We were ready for a slow trip home. Highway 105 helped us realize that Conroe is no longer a little town.
If you drive back and forth on Highway 45, I urge you to take time to visit this special museum. Arrange your time for this stop on your trip from Dallas to Houston or vice versa. Be sure to plan at least two hours at this museum.
