Dubina

This is the first Czech settlement in Texas. Dubina means "Oak Grove" in Czech. Some of the first settlers were the Peter’s and Muzny’s along with others. In the 1880’s, Dubina had a cotton gin, grits mill, post office, general store, saloon, blacksmith shop, several dance halls, a zoo, and 3 schools. The Catholic Church once had over 600 families attending mass. Dubina was a stopover for many Czechs coming to Texas. Today, Dubina has a community hall and a Catholic Church, which is on the painted church tour.

The church does homemade fried chicken, german potatoes, sauerkraut and serve beer. It starts about 11am, and is a great time. We are doing a chapter ride out there. If anyone is close and wants to check it out, come on out. You will not be disappointed in the food. They also have old tractors on display and a band playing along with dancing. Polkas and waltzes.

You are right Curley. It is between Weimar & Schulenburg on FM 1383
You can take I-10, exit hwy 90 to the right just before Schulenburg and then left on fm 1383. Oh and it's less than $10 a person for a plate full of food.
