Couples twirl at the dance hall in Gruene

Gruene Historic District

(Pronounced "green") German immigrants established this village on the banks of the Guadalupe River before 1850. Now it is part of New Braunfels and is known as a popular shopping and entertainment district. Historic structures have been restored and now operate as shops, restaurants, bed-and-breakfasts, river outfitters, an art gallery and a winery. Gruene Hall, built in 1878, is Texas' oldest continually operating dancehall. Located 1.5 miles west of I-35, Exit 191. 830/6295077. www.gruenetexas.com.
