Why Stop In Lavaca County???

Lavaca County is located just south of Interstate 10 on U.S. Highway 77 less than two hours away from Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Corpus Christi. When you decide to visit our county, and I know you will, the hardest decision you will have to make is what to do first when you get here.
December is a perfect time to visit the courthouse when she is regally clothed in hundreds of white lights to herald the Christmas season beginning with the Festival of Lights in late November.
In nearby Shiner, Spoetzl Brewery, Texas’ oldest independent brewery and the home of the ever-popular Shiner Beer, and the historic Gaslight Theater are just two examples of “Historic Old Towne Shiner.”
Yoakum, the “Leather Capital of Texas,” reflects the historic cattle era of Lavaca County with its Chisholm Trail Memorial and its Land of Leather Days n February. Visit nearby Moulton and enjoy a meal at historic Kloesel’s Steakhouse and Bar, and unwind at the Ole Moulton Bank which features live entertainment in a historic setting.
If live entertainment and good food is your idea of an ideal trip, Lavaca County has just what you need. Throughout the year, local churches host picnics that showcase our strong rural roots complete with polka music and meals with that home-cooked touch. The Half Moon Holidays and Bocktoberfest in Shiner, the Tom-Tom Festival in Yoakum, the Town and Country Jamboree in Moulton, and the Kolache Fest in Hallettsville are just a few examples of local events Lavaca County style.
Consider this your personal invitation to join us in Lavaca County. Whether it is the past or the present you are seeking, you will like what you find.
