Gettin' to Gruene This Summer

 
 
Even though we have made a point of Gently Resisting Change since 1872, we can't fight progress!

TxDot road improvements have started in the Gruene Historic District area! While it will be great when it's done (no more waitin' on trains!), it will take a little while to execute. So, in the meantime, if you are traveling to Historic Gruene via IH 35, we have a few alternate routes for less congestion and arrive faster so you can get to two steppin', river floatin' and enjoying a cold one a lot quicker! 
 
If you can't avoid IH 35 Exit 191 to Canyon Lake, there will be signs to lead you in the right direction, as the left turn lane and protected turn signal have been eliminated. But, if you can take the scenic route, we suggest you take one of these! See you soon!

From San Antonio on IH 35:
1. Head North.
2. Exit 184 toward TX 337 Loop/Rueckle Rd.
3. Turn left onto TX 337 Loop/Rueckle Rd. and stay on the loop for 5.5 miles.
4. Take the Rock Street exit just past the light at River Road (be careful, it's easy to miss) and turn left at the stop sign. 
5. Cross the railroad tracks and continue left on to Gruene Road. Cruise over the Gruene River Bridge (you should be able to see the Gruene water tower) and head up the hill. Veer right, and you'll end up directly in front of Gruene Hall!
 
From Austin on IH 35:
1. Head South.
2. Exit 195 toward Watson Lane/Old Bastrop Road.
3. Turn right onto Watson Lane and go about a mile.
4. Watson Lane ends at Hunter Road (FM 1102). Turn Left.
5. Go about 4.5 miles and go straight through the light at FM 306, and the road will turn into Common Street. You should be able to see the Gruene Water Tower now!
6. Take the first right on Old FM 306.
7. Take the first left onto Hunter Road. 1 mile to Gruene Historic District!
