Gruene has been designated a Historic Town by the State of Texas, but is actually a Historic District in the city of New Braunfels. The name of the town is pronounced like the color Green. Henry D. Gruene, the town s founder, originally bought land for a cotton farm in 1872 with his father and brothers. He built his first home in 1872 and modified it over the years. It still stands proudly with its Victoria galleries today as the Gruene Mansion Inn. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated Texas Historic Landmark. Our Welcome Party location, The Gruene Grove is located at Gruene Rd., in New Braunfels, Texas. They provide a full bar, a fantastic ice cream selection, live music, beautiful decor, and an awesome location in the Gruene area. Gruene Hall, built in 1878, is Texas oldest continually operating and most famous dance hall. By design, not much has physically changed since the Hall was built. The 6,000 square foot dance hall with a high pitched tin roof still has the original layout with side flaps for open air dancing, a bar in the front, a small lighted stage in the back and a huge outdoor garden. Advertisement signs from the 1930s and 40s still hang in the old hall and around the stage. In the 1800s, Gruene Hall held weekly dances and played host to everything from traveling salesmen to high school graduations to badger fights. Today, the Hall has continued to be a center for the Gruene and Central Texas social and entertainment scene. So, dust off your boots and join us to experience the unique history of Gruene, Texas!
