Step back in time at The Johnson Hotel, circa 190. The hotel was built in 1901 by Gottleib Krause as a saloon with a “hotel” upstairs. He later added on and made use of those fancy electric lights. Fred Astaire’s grandfather owned the hotel in the early years, and Fred and Astele would play on the second floor porch. A full service restaurant is now in the original clothing store, relax and enjoy and dine amidst antiques and curiosities.
Plainview Country Club (4 miles west, 1 north, then east) has a beautiful nine-hole golf course, available to visitors for green fees, with cart rental available. Also, there are picnic facilities, play equipment, club house, fishing, (with member), RV pads and hookups – inquire at Tenth Hole (south side)
The annual Klown Festival with a home-town Klown Karnival, barbecue, fireworks and other fun stuff, mostly free, is on the first Saturday of June with some activity the previous Friday evening.
