Plan Your Stay
Elgin is a small community 19 miles east of Austin. Our community was established in 1872 around cotton and the railroads. We have many things to see for those who are Train Enthusiast, History Buffs or if you just like to see how things are made. While you are here, be sure to visit to one of our many amazing restaurants. Elgin is the Sausage Capital of Texas after all!
