Reader feedback has always shaped the pages of TH, and that will certainly hold true with our redesign, which premieres that month. It’s not too late: Tell us your favorite town (and why) by June 15. And let us know what you’d like to see more (or less) of in your TH anytime.

Trip Tip:

Inside Houston

To contrast with the numerous outdoor activities featured this month, TH Art Director Jane Wu puts the spotlight on venturing inside Houston’s Museum District. The area includes 19 museums, with collections and interests ranging from The John C. Freeman Weather Museum to the Museum of Fine Arts, all within a 1.5-mile radius, a rarity in this sprawling city. Jane, a Houston native, admits “I haven’t been to most of the smaller ones, but hope to explore a few this summer, like the Center for Contemporary Craft.” Jane also suggests checking out the Museum District website for free admission days. Some, such as The Menil Collection, are always free.

Even More Summer Fun...

Next month, we’ll explore historic Clifton and the bounty of surrounding Bosque County, take a walking tour of downtown San Antonio, and escape to FoxFire Cabins on the Sabinal River. Plus, three locals put their spin on Austin. Summer’s in full swing!
