BUCK POTTERY
Artist Dee Buck throws pottery on the wheel in his shop and fires it in a 2,600 degree wood-burning kiln. His pottery is functional – much of it kitchenware – and features an unglazed “country” look. Buck’s work is recognized throughout Texas and the U.S. and he enjoys showing visitors through his Gruene studio and giving demonstrations of his craft.

GRUENE GENERAL STORE
This building, built in the 1870’s was H.D. Gruene’s original mercantile store. The town was booming at the turn of the century and H.D. built a new mercantile in 1903 to expand his business (now houses Gruene Antique Company) and this structure was rolled to its present location by a team of horses to make way for the new structure. Later it became the Gruene lumber yard. The current business is a re-creation of an authentic general store with soda fountain and features candy, Texas food products, house wares and gifts.
For information call (830) 629-6021 or visit www.gruenegeneralstore.com.

GRUENE OUTFITTERS
This building served as the Gruene Brothers Garage in the 1920’s and 30’s and housed the Gruene’s horse drawn buggies prior to that time. The store now features quality label outdoor wear such as Patagonia, Woolrich, ExOfficio, Teva and fly tackle and gear.
