1832 Farmers' Market, Saturday in Bastrop, TX

1832 Farmer's Market

The market is so named because Bastrop was platted on
June 8, 1832 and officially named Bastrop.
The town was designed along conventional Mexican lines,
with a square in the center and blocks set aside for public buildings.

Entrance to Farmers' Market
It's enclosed & is good for rain or shine!

Sorry John, there is no musicians performing.

We bought a lot from him.
