Built in 1894, this is the fourth structure to function as the courthouse of Gonzales County. A beautiful building of Romanesque Revival architecture, the courthouse stands as the center of county government and is the center of the cross that forms downtown Gonzales. The interior has beautiful paintings and artwork, depicting various scenes from the Texas Revolution and of the local area.
Golf course, hiking, and sports complexes are some of the things to do at this small city park. Fishing along the Guadalupe River is very good.
Don't be fooled by the unassuming appearance of this Tex-Mex restaurant. It looks like an old service station outside, but the good food and service is a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. An average meal will run between 4 and 7 dollars. Tacos, fajitas, and enchiladas are some of the available choices. Soft drinks and tea are among the available beverages. Alcohol is not served here. Try the Mexican Coca-Cola, which is very similar to the American version, but the bottles are much larger.
This beautiful early 20th century home has been converted to a fine bed and breakfast. There are four separate rooms to choose from; prices vary by season and your room choice. There are ghost stories that the former occupants still live there and roam the halls at night. So don't be surprised if you hear something rattling nearby...
A nice modern option on E. US Alt 90 (Sarah DeWitt Dr). It has 27 rooms, with smoking and non-smoking rooms. High speed internet access is available. There is a small outdoor pool available as well.
Driving is the only way into Gonzales. US Highway 183 runs north to south through the city, while US Highway 90 runs east to west. From Austin, take US Hwy 183 due south for about an hour.
