Bartlett, "The Best Little Town In Texas" was founded in 1881, built from the railroad & cotton industries. Bartlett still stands as the jewel of the rich Texas Blacklands today. Proudly retaining one of the largest groups in Central Texas of conjoined historical buildings & original brick streets. Bartlett's combination tempts the imagination and recollection of another place in time.

Located less than an hour northeast of downtown Austin, Bartlett is closer than you think! Plan a day to shop and visit, who knows, you may stay a lifetime.
