DISCOVER WHARTON

Our unique Downtown Square, with many historic buildings, was built around the turn of the last century, and is well known for its restaurants, gift and antique shops.

The Plaza Theater located on the square has been completely restored to its former glory and now hosts live musical and theatrical performances. Call ahead (979) 532-1040 for performance dates and ticket information, or visit their website at www.whartonplazatheater.org.

The Wharton County Courthouse was designed in the late 1800’s by famed architect Eugene Heiner and was built to replace the 1851 structure. The building has gone through drastic changes over the years and the community is now in the process of having it restored to its original 1889 status and grandeur.

Riverfront Park, under the 1930 Highway 59 Bridge, has been featured in the LCRA 2000 Calendar. The park has a relaxing atmosphere for picnics and day use with barbecue pits, tables and restrooms. Between the Bridge and the park you can enjoy great Mexican food while overlooking the Colorado River from the tops of it's banks at Los Cucos Restaurant.
