McLennan County, Texas
McLennan County sits right in the heart of Texas. It’s home to Waco, a city you may have heard of. You can’t miss the mammoth fossils at the Waco Mammoth National Monument. It’s pretty wild to think those huge beasts once roamed here.
The county has a mix of city life and open country. It’s hot in the summer, y’all. But the locals know how to beat the heat with sweet tea and swimming holes. The Brazos River cuts through it, giving folks plenty of spots to fish or just chill by the water.
Baylor University brings in a young crowd, keeping things lively. Chip and Joanna Gaines put Waco on the map with their home renovation show. Visitors dig the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum. All in all, it’s a piece of Texas that’s worth exploring.
