Blanco Texas 78606

Blanco, Texas is located west of Austin and north of San Antonio, Texas on Highway 281 in Blanco County by the beautiful Blanco River. Settled in 1853, Blanco is still a small town. Blanco has an annual Lavendar Festival. Blanco State Park is 110 acres with 21 campsites on the Blanco River. History buffs like me will love the old Blanco County Courthouse as well as the old 1877 Blanco County Jail. Shop local at Brieger Pottery next to Red Bud Cafe for pottery, lavender products, art and more. I love to drive down FM 32 to see the scenic Devil’s Backbone area of beautiful Texas Hill Country vistas. That has always been one of my family’s favorite drives.
