Bastrop is a unique blending of old and new. Nestled on the banks of the Colorado River, the historic district offers a delightful selection of shops and restaurants as well as B&Bs. Nearby neighborhoods contain over 100 historic homes.

Bastrop has just been named a “Distinctive Destination” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and joins a roster of 132 towns and cities across the nation accorded this honor — in recognition of the city’s work to preserve its historic character, promote heritage tourism, enhance the community and extend its welcome.
