Take a full day to relax (all dates fit with our SHSU calendar) and learn the history of Huntsville and Walker County, and visit some of our best museums and historic landmarks.
Join 10 colleagues in the spacious “Joye-mobile” Party van for an exclusive tour of Huntsville and Walker County with step-aboard guides familiar with all the details of our local history. We’ll explore our town, with stops at some of our museums. We’ll lunch at one of the many famous local eateries then cruise the countryside to visit the Biology Reserve and the Gibbs Ranch, and selfies with Big Sam. We’ll end with dinner at the Farmhouse. If we are lucky, we may get a chance to view the bats as they exit the TDCJ warehouse and learn about the “Battle of the Bats.”
Meet in the parking lot of the University Hotel (It’s a safe place to leave your cars).
