Old Baylor Park in Brenham, TX is a historic site that marks the location where Baylor University, the oldest institution of higher learning in Texas and the largest Baptist university in the world, was established in 1846. The park features the columns of the former Baylor Female College Building, which was built in 1857 and housed classrooms and a chapel.
Over the years, the Male Campus of Baylor University moved to Waco and merged with Waco University, while the Female Department became Baylor Female College and later relocated to Belton, becoming the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the stone kitchen and the remaining columns of the main building, offering a glimpse into the history of this significant educational institution.
