Granger Brethren Church - Czech Protestant immigrants began settling in this area in the early 1880s. Many of them established family farms in the rich farmland surrounding Granger.

The Czechs' first organized worship service was held in a schoolhouse east of town in the early 1880s. Services were held sporadically whenever a traveling minister was available to preach. The Rev. Adolph Chlumsky, a Czech Brethren minister from Brenham, encouraged the people here to organize a church. On July 10, 1892, the officially founded a congregation and elected Chlumsky pastor. He commuted from Brenham to serve the congregation for the next 18 years. The congregation built its first church structure in 1901.

On December 29, 1903, under the leadership of the Rev. Mr. Chlumsky, the Evangelical Unity of the Czech-Moravian Brethren in North America (Unity of the Brethren) denomination officially was organized at Granger Brethren Church.

In 1910 Chlumsky was succeeded by the Rev. Josef Barton, Sr., who became the first resident pastor. the church continued to thrive over the years, serving the community with a variety of programs. It remains an important part of Williamson County history.

Texas Theatre
425 N. Austin Street
Seguin, Texas

Built in 1929 when Seguin boasted a population of 7812, the Texas is among the few remaining classic theatres of the twenties. Well preserved, the architecture is a Spanish Colonial motif. The interior reflects that of an open-air theatre with a star-studded, sky-blue ceiling and archway panels with painted trees. Interior lights are designed after lanterns, complete with their original mica panels. Seating capacity of the theatre was originally 500. Respacing of seats in 1968 rendered a capacity of 300. The exterior remains unchanged.

The original Texas sign uses hundreds of individual bulbs. Among the finest signs of this type, popular before neon. "The Great Waldo Pepper" and Raggedy Man" include scenes filmed here.

At first I thought this was a piece of ice in the middle of the pond. Then he moved and I saw that it was a bird. The egret must have been sitting still all night because he had an inch of snow on top.

Many of the graves in the Comfort Cemetery in central Texas are covered in seashells. I did some research and wrote about it for Tombstone Tuesday.
