This is a locally owned distillery that is open to the public the 1st Saturday of each month. The day starts with a fantastic tour of the operations along with stories of their journey in the business. Then time to relax with friends, play games, have one of their specialty drinks, and food from a local food vendor.

Our self guided tour booklet was well written and most informative. Our walk through Frontier Village was most enjoyable and the homes/buildings were beautifully staged giving you a true flavor of life during this era.There were many exhibits in the building where you sign up for the tour one of which was a Cotton Mill exhibit. Adding to this very pleasant experience was information provided to us by a very down to earth employee of Frontier Village,Rita, who was well versed in assisting me with my request to learn about Denison's Cotton Mill. Thank you for a delightful afternoon spent here.

This is a real stop off point well worth a little detour. There is excellent literature at the site and it is a lovely memorial. You can clearly see the monument from the road , but it is nice to get up close.

Diane Geer is just the best historian ever. She told the story of the Denison Railroad depot like you were living it today. She told all the history of how it was built and its demise when KATY up and closed this very large facility. How a man sold all his holdings and even borrowed money to purchase the building when he heard it was to be torn down. He forever saved this beautiful piece of history. It is a must for a wonderful entertaining account of very important history. Told by a woman Diane Geer who makes it come to life. One of my favorite day trips ever. Thanks Diane, The Deals
