Historic Fort Tumbleweed®
An Authentic Old West Town near Austin Texas
 
Owned and managed by Leonard and Lynda Kubiak
For the past 30 years, we've moved a variety of
Old West era buildings to this 16-acre old west haven to
compliment the original buildings on the 1850's Bryson homeplace and Stagecoach Stop site. We have
also collected many thousands of old west relics dating
back hundreds of years and
fossils dating back millions of years. For the past 30 years, we have conducted historical tours for large groups on an appointment basis.
Currently,
the site has 12 historical buildings and the wildest assortment of "thangs" that you
will ever hope to come across.

These buildings feature early-day Texas construction techniques from notched and fitted

Or take a walk back in time on this tree-covered 16-acre site dotted with old outbuildings, primitive log pens, rock
walls,historical buildings including several log cabins dating back to the days of
the Texas Republic. Enjoy the majesty of the huge oak trees that have graced the site for upwards of 400 years! But look out
for the deer!
A row of old mule-drawn iron agriculture tools can be found out past the working blacksmith shop. The primitive log barn
houses part of a vast pioneer museum collection for the site.
Browse through the open air flea markets and
enjoy some good bar-b-que and refreshments (and of course home-made peach ice cream in season)! This winter, warm up with our
oak-burning wood stove (just like they did well over a hundred years ago). Above all, you and the family can brush up on your
Texas history with local historian and
owner, Len Kubiak, and dicker on prices for any of the thousands of one-of-a-kind relics you'll find in the Museum Store/Trading Post.
