Gruene, Texas

Historic Gruene, which was once a thriving community in Texas Hill Country, became a virtual ghost town between the 1930s and 1970s. In 1975, Pat Molak purchased Gruene Hall and with the help of his friend Mary Jane Nalley, worked to preserve the authentic, turn-of-the-century look and feel of Gruene by purchasing and repairing several of the town's most notable structures and transforming them into thriving businesses.

Gruene itself has been added to the National Register of Historic Places, and many of the buildings that were rescued by Molak and Nalley have been awarded a Texas medallion from the Texas Historical Commission. It has also been recognized by the Texas travel industry as a premiere attraction for visitors. Check their Facebook Page for more information.
