While here, wander around the courthouse square and admire the lovely Lee County Courthouse, gain insight into the town’s Wendish culture (the Wends were Slavish immigrants from Lusatia who settled in Giddings), or browse the many antique shops and specialty stores for some fun gifts and souvenirs.

Giddings also has plenty of outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy, with two beautiful city parks and a golf course.
