Bought in 2014, Magnolia’s Waco site grew from to 5.3 acres, adding shops, a ball field and church

In a remarkable transformation, Chip and Joanna Gaines have converted a historic cottonseed mill site in Waco into a buzzing tourist hub.

Spanning 5.3 acres, the revitalized Magnolia property now features an array of shops, dining venues, and lush green spaces.

Guests can experience restored historic buildings like the Old Church, while the newly built Katy Ballpark commemorates the original Katy Park.
