The Caldwell County Courthouse may be the prettiest building in Lockhart. Located right smack dab…read morein the middle of the historic downtown area, the courthouse is an architectural marvel. I spent a week in Lockhart and checked out its splendor multiple times during my trip. While I didn't walk inside, the exterior is really what you care about. There are several signs outside of the courthouse that explains the history of the building so make sure to check them out! Beyond the architecture, the color scheme of the building is beautiful too.

In fact, Texas Highways Magazine had a great write-up about the downtown square. Had to look and see for myself. I was not disappointed! I didn't go inside, but I was just as impressed with the grounds and historical markers. Don't pass up an opportunity to checkout the City of Lockhart.

To truly become a Texan, you have to eat at one or more of the places on the BBQ Trail here in Lockhart. On the list is Kreuz Market, the oldest BBQ building from 1900. Smitty's Market, which only accepts cash. Black's BBQ, which has expanded into Austin, Chisolm Trail BBQ with a drive-thru (for your convenience!) You can spend a whole day just going from BBQ joint to BBQ joint eating the meats. Each place sorta has a specialty and their own braggin' rights. The Texas Legislature officially decreed Lockhart to be the Barbeque Capital of Texas! While you're here, check out the amazing courthouse in downtown Lockhart (Hopefully not as a defendant.) It's absolutely worth the drive from San Antonio or Austin.

As this was listed as the oldest continuous operating library in Texas we of course, had to stop…read morein. Not much going on this trip but it was cool to see, pretty big place and looks great. They had several floors and 2 people running the desk. The outside was amazing to look at and is a very nice building. The children and teen section is right after you come in, there are stairs and an elevator, each floor is something different. The Fiction section is quite large and has a very large stage at the front, not sure what it is used for normally but it was a cool feature. Had some comfy chairs up there. One the floor with the fiction there was a large computer room, fully empty, First time I have seen no computers in use at a library. Even Shana remarked on that. They do allow you to use a paid for by the library Ancestry account to search family history. They had displays of books, most with themes along all the window ledges. There were two offices in this area as well, both with open doors, no one in them and signs saying library staff only. We did head up to the 3rd floor which claimed to be fireplace sitting but everything up there was closed and locked. Access was not denied, no sign nor roped off but all you could get to was a microwave. It felt like is was supposed to be closed off but someone forgot? We don't live here, so no library card but it was cool to see the place. The front desk person we spoke to wasn't super helpful, Shana asked about the age and if it was the oldest and they thought so but seemed very unsure and seemed to think it weird we stopped in. Not rude or dismissive just more confused, like they don't normally get questions or visitors. Still if you like history, old buildings, libraries, or any combination of the three, this is worth a quick look and walkthrough. Judging by the state and fireplace rooms they do some cool stuff here now and then so keep an eye out for that.

They have some of the worst customer service, I will definitely not be coming back.

If you're home owner like me, odds are you have years of spray paint, canned paint and numerous other chemicals aging in your garage? Like so many yelpers have already mentioned, you do need to make an appointment which is not at all difficult. I actually called in the morning on a weekday and got an appointment within three hours. The number to call is 512-974-4343. On my visit I brought all kinds of paint, fuel additive, cleaning agents, lubricants, and pesticides. To be honest, I thought they were going to charge me something for this collection of environmentally damaging products, but I offloaded everything onto their carts in a matter of minutes and was on my way. Quick, convenient and no charge. I thought I would add four photos for a little insight.
