Living In Chappell Hill

The town was named for Robert Wooding Chappell, in 1847, and is located halfway between Brenham and Hempstead. We are known for our historic Texas landmarks and country charm, plus our festivals and The Republic of Texas-era sights.

Our central section of town is on the National Register Historic District; this is where we hold our parades and festivals. We love holidays in Chappell Hill. Every year our residents participate in the Scarecrow Contest held by the Chappell Hill Historical Society, as well as the Independence Day parade featuring our 80-member Marching Kazoo Band. 

Learning in Chappell Hill

Formal education has always been a part of Chappell Hill's culture. Soule University was the predecessor to Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. The school building itself was a three-story stone building that held classes from 1861 until 1887 when they closed for good. The last president of the University went on to Georgetown to help the Methodist Church establish Southwestern. 

Today our young residents are educated in the Brenham Independent School District, the first public school district in Texas. There are currently 4,700 students enrolled, but that doesn't mean your child is just a number. Teachers, staff, and administrators within the Brenham ISD strive to provide individual attention to all who are enrolled. 

Special programs like Outdoor Education teach land stewardship to young adults, a critical component to conserving our natural resources for future generations. Afterschool curriculum provides a safe and enjoyable environment for elementary and middle school children, as well as a convenience for hard-working parents. 

Athletic opportunities are plentiful within the Brenham ISD, as sports have always been a cultural focus in our part of the country. Eligible students can try out for baseball, soccer, football, softball, golf, swim, or tennis teams. In addition to keeping kids active and healthy, organized athletics teaches teamwork, responsibility, and positive competitive attitudes.

Chappell Hill Lavender Farm is a delight for the senses. It is a four-acre working establishment, owned by two of our residents, that produces lavender for decoration, oil, and bath products. Lavender is not a native plant for our area, so the owners plant hybrid varieties that can tolerate the Texas humidity. 

Texas Star Winery invites fermented beverage lovers from all over to settle in with a specialty wine created on site. They concoct hand-batch wines with fruits like Cranberry, Prickly Pear, and Plum, as well as traditional grapes.

The Circulating Library was organized in 1893 by William G. Foote, the son of an administrator of Soule University. The Civic Club of Chappell Hill constructed the building that currently houses the books. It is open the second Saturday of every month and by appointment.
