Situated between the Metroplex and the Hill Country is a town "Where Everybody is Somebody." It's a place where our Wild West past mixes with new Texas traditions, where legends of outlaws run wild, and where a slice of pie can solve all your problems. Trip to Hico for the richest of history, culture and fun.
Get to the bottom of the biggest mystery in town at the Billy the Kid Museum. Hear the controversial story that made many believe that famous outlaw Billy the Kid wasn’t shot by Pat Garrett in New Mexico in 1881, but actually escaped him and was living as Brushy Bill in Hico, TX where he died. Whether you believe Brushy Bill was Billy the Kid or not, this museum is full of interesting evidence!
Heading downtown is like traveling back in time. It’s a mixture of historic buildings and fresh, new shops, with old-timey murals decorating almost every building. Don’t forget to stock up on popcorn of every flavor handmade in the store at Hico Popcorn Works! Sadly, the antique shop in the old opera house and Left Handed Guns have both permanently closed since we aired this episode.
These folks make some of the best Belgian chocolate truffles in the WORLD…so needless to say, you must stop here. Set in a historic home, Wiseman House handcrafts all kinds of chocolates, and my favorite is the “Wild Woman Truffle” - which is basically dark chocolate dipped in dark chocolate and then drizzled in dark chocolate…YUM! Not only can you eat these truffles, but you can take a Chocolate Class and make your own!
Fuel up your day trip with lunch at this shop that serves a variety of sandwiches made with local produce in a building that’s been around since 1902. And since “Eis” is German for “ice cream,” you can bet they’ve got a great ice cream selection here!
The Koffee Kup is a Hico institution that’s been serving the community since 1968 - and trust me, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the cuisine here and your Grandma’s homecookin’! I highly suggest sticking to the healthy shade of golden brown when it comes to your meal and chowing down on chicken fried steak, onion rings and - of course - lots of gravy! For dessert, try one (or all) of the 16 homemade pies.
Siloville mixes Hico’s farming industry with outdoor adventure! Four abandoned grain silos have been turned into epic rock climbing walls - and you can climb inside and outside the silos. Outside, you can also test your ninja skills by racing through an intense obstacle course!

I was fortunate to have been born in Hico, one of the last babies born in the hospital/clinic. My parents went to high school there. One of my ancestors was a founding father of Hico at the ORIGINAL location on Honey Creek. When the railroad came in about 2 miles from this location, the town moved to it's current location. I'm proud to have spent many Summers and weekends in this town. Many fond memories. My grandmother used to tell of listening to Brushy Bill talk of stories.

Koffee kup sucks... I went there last time they gave me hot chocolate pie burnt pecan pie and watery fried chicken that was frozen too long... This used to be the best place when the old man ran it, and now it's gone down the tubes. The chocolate place is good though, did not know about the rock climbing.

I agree completely; a while back I had hot chocolate pie as well and one of the pies was also burnt.

Was at Tarleton and I remember hearing about the Koffee Kup Kafe and its relation to the KKK and how good the pie is. I also think it was around 2017 they dropped the third K to just the Koffee Kup. Wiseman is fantastic chocolate though.

You would think so, however last time I ate there the breading was very greasy and fell off way too easy. They place isn't the same it was at its peak a few years ago.

The only thing about the Coffee Cup, is when we ate their and went to pay it was cash only. I sure hope they have updated since about 8 years ago. Lol
