See all of our wonderful attractions in Giddings.

 From the 1899 County Courthouse and right next door the Lee County Museum, located in the 1878 Schubert-Fletcher House. We love our military and first responders in Giddings, so check out the Veterans Honor Memorial at Veteran's Park and the 911 Memorial at the Fire Station. There are many wonderful murals in town, including the Depression Era mural inside the Post Office and the "Businesses of Giddings" mural in its parking lot. This particular mural has 12 hidden items in it, can you find them all?
