Visit the eponymous Round Rock in the middle of Bushy Creek along the banks of which the town developed. See the famous limestone slab that served as an important low-water crossing marker for pioneers and Native Americans.

Round Rock played a pivotal role in the Chisholm Trail, a famous cattle route in the late 19th century. Relive this history at Chisholm Trail Crossing Park, featuring life-size bronze sculptures of steers and pioneers on the cattle drive. Learn more about the area’s history from a series of commemorative plaques.

Round Rock is the self-proclaimed “Sports Capital of Texas.” See a baseball game at Dell Diamond, home of Triple-A team the Round Rock Express. Texas native and National Baseball Hall of Fame member Nolan Ryan is an original team owner.
