Surrounding Communities
DIME BOX
The original community of Brown’s Mill was established in the mid-1840’s. Mail was picked up weekly
and delivered to Giddings. The carrier would bring back mail and other necessities. A dime was customarily left in a box for such services. The U.S. Postal Service then accepted the Dime Box name since the
Brown’s Mill sounded too much like “Brownsville”. When the railroad bypassed Dime Box to the south,
the town was relocated to its present day location.
LEXINGTON
Lexington is located on US Highway 77, eighteen miles north of Giddings. The town is noted for its Town
Square complete with Gazebo and handsome landscaping. Nearby is the Pioneer Village Museum; consisting of two Lee County log cabins and a log barn, circa 1850. The Lexington Chamber of Commerce
can provide details and information on events including the annual Homecoming. For more information,
call 979-773-4337.
LINCOLN / EVERGREEN
Lincoln, located on Highway 21, is named after a preacher who came to Lee County in the 1880’s “trying to
convert some of the old cowboys that roamed around here.” The town was originally known as Evergreen
and was located about 1 mile from its current location. Famous outlaw Bill Longley attended school there.
Visitors will find two historical markers, a store, a post office, and Elm Creek Cafe. Elm Creek Cafe is located about four miles west of Lincoln and specializes in homemade onion rings and chicken fried steak.
Loebau
Loebau is a farming community located about 4 miles northeast of Giddings on County Road 114, about
3 miles east of US highway 77. The center of the community is Christ Lutheran Church. Each year on
Mother’s Day, Loebau is host to the Christ Lutheran Church Picnic; with plenty of good food, music and
drinks. Loebau also has an annual festival called “Loebau Fest” with music and fun for the whole family
and features music from local musicians.
WARDA
Warda is a small community located south of Giddings on US Highway 77. Nearby is the Bluff Creek
Ranch with 8 miles of well-shaded trails attract mountain bikers from all across the US and the world.
SERBIN
Serbin is located about seven miles south of Giddings, on FM 2239 just off FM 448. The community is
home to St. Paul Lutheran Church which was founded in 1854 by Reverend John Killian and 570 Wendish
Lutherans seeking religious freedom from Serbia in Eastern Prussia. The church is one of the “painted
churches” of the area and has remained unchanged through its long history. Visitors may tour The Texas
Wendish Heritage Museum while in Serbin. The museum preserves the history of the Texas Wends and
includes a historic display, gift shop, library and archives. The annual Wendish Fest is held there each
September and includes the State of Texas Noodle Cook-Off.
LEDBETTER
Ledbetter is east of Giddings on US Highway 290. Since 1891, the Stuermer Store has been a prominent
fixture. A number of other small businesses including antique shops call Ledbetter home.
NAILS CREEK - LAKE SOMERVILLE
Just northeast of Giddings off FM 180, you will find an outdoor-person’s paradise - The Nails Creek Unit
of Lake Somerville. The park offers camping, fishing, boating and hiking with 40 multi-use campsites,
picnic sites, restrooms (some with showers), boat ramps, fish cleaning shelters and over seven miles of
nature trails.

ilton Lee Smith is a true Hometown Hero. Born in Giddings, Texas,
he went on to become one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. He
began playing baseball on his father’s local team. After stays with the
Austin Black Senators and the Monroe Monarchs, and the 1935 Semi-Pro
Championship team in Bismarck, N.D., Smith went on to play in Kansas
City for the Kansas City Monarchs.
It was in Kansas City that Smith’s fame and prowess
as a true big-league pitcher grew. There, he teamed up
with the great Satchel Paige to become a formidable
pitching tandem. Hilton Lee Smith was inducted into
the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. To recognize the
accomplishments of one of its most famous citizens, the City
of Giddings has named its newest baseball field “Hilton Lee
Smith Field”.
For more information on the Hilton Lee Smith
Baseball Hall of Fame Display call 979-542-2716.
