Blanco
The Lavender Capital of Texas
Blanco is a charming town nestled in the picturesque Texas Hill Country, ideally located in the center of the state. It's an easy drive from two major cities, situated just 45 miles north of San Antonio and 45 miles west of Austin. For visitors arriving by air, both Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and San Antonio International Airport are less than an hour away.
The town's history is as captivating as its landscape. Founded in 1853, Blanco was settled by a mix of resilient pioneer ranchers, former Texas Rangers, and immigrant families who shaped the frontier.
The Old Blanco County Court House at the Center of the Square in Blanco.

At the center of it all is the historic Blanco Town Square, a bustling focal point for the community. The centerpiece is the stunningly restored 1885 Historic County Courthouse, lovingly preserved by the Old Blanco County Courthouse Preservation Society. This beautiful building now welcomes visitors as a gift shop, visitor center, and community space. Surrounding the square, you can explore a variety of unique antique and gift shops.
If you're in town on the third Saturday of the month between April and November, don't miss Blanco's popular Market Days.
