September Outing - Nash Farm

The Buzz on Bees

September 3, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Wagon rides $1 per person.

Nash Farm is the place to “bee!” Farms need bees. Learn all about “Apiculture” (bees, pollen, honey and wax!). Peek into a real bee hive and see a queen bee! Taste different varieties of honey. Meet a real-live Honey Princess! She’s “bee-utiful!” Local honey available for purchase.

THE NASH FAMILY HISTORYThe Nash Family was part of a migration of farmers from the Upper South (Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee) who settled on the Grape Vine Prairie in the years prior to the Civil War. Thomas Jefferson Nash was born in Marion County, Kentucky, on March 4,1827. His wife, Elizabeth Mouser, was born in Washington County on October 20, 1828. They were married on February 17, 1848. They had five daughters and one son. The oldest three were born in Lebanon, Kentucky, and the youngest three were born in Grapevine, Texas. William P. Nash, Thomas' brother, was born on July 2, 1828. Thomas and William were very close, and William lived with Thomas and his family most of his adult life. William was a stonemason and local lore says he laid the stone foundation of the Nash House, the barn, and Grapevine's First Methodist Church.
