Cherry Springs Dance Hall, Historic dance hall in Cherry Spring, Texas.
Cherry Springs Dance Hall is a large building covering about 11,000 square feet and built around a wooden dance floor that measures roughly 1,400 square feet. The interior features hand-carved cypress wood accents at the bar and custom cedar tables placed throughout the space.
The hall was established in 1889 as a waypoint for cattle drives moving through the Texas Hill Country. Over time it transformed into a music venue that attracted performers for more than a century.
The name reflects the natural springs that shaped settlement patterns in this Texas Hill Country region. Visitors can sense how the land itself has influenced the rhythm and character of this gathering place over time.
The venue sits in the rural Texas Hill Country roughly 16 miles northwest of Fredericksburg along U.S. Highway 87. Most visitors arrive by car since the location is remote and away from urban centers.
In 1955, a performer who would become one of the most famous musicians in history appeared here, but his name was accidentally misspelled on the promotional posters for the event. This printing error turned into an overlooked piece of entertainment history that fascinates collectors of vintage concert materials.
