I had a post about Blanco in September but it was really mostly about the Blanco State Park. It's a nice small park but one of the big draws is it's close proximity to Blanco. You can walk to the downtown area.
As with most Texas towns, the town square is anchored by the courthouse. You might want to check to see if they still have the free Hill Country Passport boooks which work just like a National Park Passport books.
One side of the square is anchored by Cranberries Antiques.
City Hall is on another side of the square.
And right next store is the City Council Chambers.
There are several other stores along this side as well. Lots of Fall and Halloween decorations.
This store has lots of outside decor items for sale but the inside items are more along the lines of clothes and jewelry.
Across the street is the Old 300 BBQ place.
It's very popular. The food was good but not inexpensive. I missed a picture of the Redbud Cafe which is the anchor on another side of the courthouse. It has great sandwiches and also has music on the weekends. There is a forth side of the square but I didn't get a photo there. I know it would be well worth another look. I think there is another restaurant and possibly a textile store there. It is always nicely decorated but there is no parking right in front.
There is also a hat shop.
Give Blanco a look the next time you head up Hwy 281 from San Antonio.
