The Mason County Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to Mason On-Line. We invite you to take a leisurely tour of our beloved community, and to join us for a visit, or for a lifetime. We truly believe that we are fortunate enough to live in one of the most unique and beautiful places you'll ever find, and we want to share it with you.
Agriculture was the lifeblood of the community in the early days, and for many, it still remains vital. Ranching and farming are the primary industries, but now deer hunting and viticulture (wine grape production) have joined the landscape of cattle, peanuts, watermelons, sheep and goats. So, welcome. Welcome to Mason, the Gem of the Hill Country, where blue topaz can be found. Welcome to Mason where beautiful old buildings around a charming town square now play host to tourists who have made Mason a destination, no matter what the season. And, welcome to Mason, where time slows down a bit and people still wave when they make eye contact. Welcome to Mason. Welcome to Mason County. Welcome home!
Mason has already had a kickoff for it's big Sesquicentennial year, loaded with proclamations, speeches, dinner and dancing. There's something planned for every month, and sometimes more than one event. Check our calendar of events frequently to make sure you don't miss a thing. Mason County Chamber of Commerce

Mason is a community with lots of history... Settled from the south by German
immigrants and from the north and east by English, Irish and Americans. From the
west, the Mexicans. The cultural influences are still visible today of all those
groups and more.
