OUR HISTORY

In the 1800s, Willow Riverside was once the Crochran Plantation, considered to be the center of social activity and intellectual interest in Bastrop. Many parties, lectures and concerts took place here over the years and we are excited to steward this special place back to its former glory. Consisting of 11 acres in the middle of town, Willow Riverside is home to many beautiful historical buildings that are hand crafted. A tour through the property and you will get lost in time, imagining how life was 200 years ago.
