Review:
Located in Central Texas, about 2 hours from Austin, the city of Dublin is as Irish as it is possible on this side of the Atlantic. In fact, in 2005 Governor Rick Perry designated Dublin as the official Irish Capital of Texas.
The small, lively town is known as the birthplace of the legendary golfer Ben Hogan as well as for Dublin Bottling Works, which has been bottling Dr. Pepper for 120 years. Musician Luke Wade was also born and raised in Dublin. The town is also known for its five museums and a historical gristmill located in the Wright Historical Park.
The Dublin Historical Museum is a great place to learn about the town’s history and origins.
The Little Church on Grafton Street is one of Dublin’s historical jewels, while the Dublin Veterans Memorial honors its citizens who have served the country.
