Jarrett and Linda went on a date at Berry Springs Park and Preserve. On a quiet Friday evening, they visited this picturesque site in the outskirts of Georgetown, Texas. Before the arrival of American colonizers, this site was home to the Tonkawa Native Americans and was visited by other tribes frequently, such as the Apache. In 1846, John Berry built a gristmill in the area. Although the gristmill is no longer present, visitors can see a historic homestead, a damn built for the gristmill, and a small family cemetery in which the Berry family was buried.

A perfect place for a quiet meditation or yoga session, this site offers peaceful water streams, a multitude of (labeled) native flowers, trees, and shrubs, and singing birds. During their visit, Linda and Jarrett ran across a duck, dragonflies, and even a water snake! Listen to this episode to hear more about what Georgetown's hidden gem has to show you.
