About Penelope

Penelope is a quiet, tight-knit farming community in southeastern Hill County, about twenty miles southeast of Hillsboro. Home to fewer than 200 residents, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced rural lifestyle surrounded by open Central Texas countryside. Daily life centers around wide-open fields, friendly neighbors, and the local school, where community pride runs deep cheering on the Wolverines. It is a classic small town for anyone seeking space, simplicity, and a friendly rural setting.
