Named after a waterfall in the Brazos River, Falls County is a mostly rural region full of robust cornfields, white clapboard churches, and small-town charm.  Take a walk through the past in historic downtown Marlin, dip your toes into the healing waters of their artesian hot spring, camp, canoe, or fish at Falls on the Brazos Park, go antique shopping or listen to the sound of blues at the Marlin Music and Blues Festival. Only half an hour from Waco, Falls County is perfect for families looking to move out to the country without sacrificing convenience.
