Shiplap, barn doors and farmhouse-chic have taken over the country thanks, in part, to Chip and Joanna Gaines of “Fixer Upper.” The dynamic duo has created an empire outside of their famous show, including a mega tourist destination in the heart of Waco, Texas, called Magnolia Market at the Silos. And, due to the popularity of Magnolia Market, the town has embraced its title as a hot destination in Texas for all travelers.

Check out these must-see spots in Waco to round out a vacation in the heart of Texas:
