Men drinking at the bar at Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas, 1890s. What an incredible historical photo. The great folks at the hall posted this on their twitter feed and were kind enough to share it with Traces of Texas. It is, of course, the oldest dance hall in the Lone Star State

TOT reader Rosemary Moore went to Willie Nelson's 4th of July picnic in Liberty Hill back in 1975 and snapped this photo. Who remembers when Schlitz was big in Texas? I do, but only because after a bad night in 1978 I swore I would never drink it again. Thanks, Rosemary!

The Fulton Mansion in Rockport, Texas, 1920. It still stands and is a magnificent place to visit.

Downtown Texarkana, 1946. Texas is on the right, Arkansas on the left. Notice how much brighter, more prosperous, and more virtuous the right side appears than the left? 😉😉😀
