Vulcan St. in Downtown Brenham May of 2019 and when traveling through from Houston to Austin, it’s a great stop to “recharge” both your car and yourself!  Stop in for a coffee or a meal at one of our Downtown restaurants.  Spend some time browsing our quaint shops.  Or even take in Toubin Park and learn about the history of Brenham.  In addition to the Downtown charging station, there are also stations located at the Coach Light Inn, Holiday Inn, and Best Western hotels.
