Rural Fayette County glows with nostalgic communities. Many
mailboxes reflect the area's Central European heritage from
descendants of Austrians, Germans, Moravians and Bohemians
who immigrated to this area in the 1850's and 1860's to escape
the Austro-Hungarian Oppression. Most towns had disappeared
from the Texas maps years ago but their heritage still lives on.

Holman is picturesquely situated on Pecan Creek, about thirteen
miles southeast of La Grange on the La Grange -  Weimar Valley
road FM 155, two miles distant from the Colorado River in
Mullins Prairie. The country is very rich and fertile blackland
prairie. The population originally was German, Bohemian and
American with some of the first settlers being G.W. Lewis, Nat
Holman, Jno. Ossina, Lott Fisher and the Seydler family.

Years ago Holman consisted of two stores, saloons, a blacksmith
and wheelwright shop.  They had a gin that processed thousands
of bales of cotton per year, a postoffice and the store where the
present Holman Valley Steakhouse is was originally one of the
first voting precincts in Fayette County nearly some 100 years
ago.

One of the stores in Holman (as pictured above) was originally
called Vacek - Miksch, Holman General Merchandise which is
 the same building that the current Holman Valley Steakhouse is
established. In the early 1900's there was a general stsore, saloon,
pool hall and a dance hall all under one roof.

With a continued effort to keep the tradition, the Holman Valley
Steakhouse is owned and operated by fourth generation
descendants of the Holman Valley, Judy and David Hajovsky.
The Hajovsky family originally immigrated to Texas and the
Holman Valley in the early 1880's from Moravia, Czechoslovakia.
