LOCKHART, TEXAS, is home to a vibrant creative class, unique local businesses, and many festivals and events throughout the year. Lockhart is officially the Bar-B-Que Capital of Texas, with many rival family establishments to try. We also have one of the most beautiful courthouses in Texas, crowning a quaint town square that is one of the top destinations in Texas.
