The coming of the railroad in 1906 turned a little village called Brewer into a fast-growing city with two banks, several hotels, a city park and an opera house. This bustling city quickly acquired electric lights and a telephone exchange that supported more businesses than you could count.
While life in downtown Teague proceeds at a somewhat slower pace today, as the last passenger rail left town in the 1960’s, there is still a great deal of activity in this small town, for those who know where to look.

Shopping for Treasures
Perhaps one of the town’s best kept secrets is Bodine’s Place on South Fifth Street that houses a full block of second hand antiques, collectibles, and “junk” collected by the late Jay Fain Bodine. For true junkies, this is the ultimate place to dig for those unique treasures.
Teague is also home to several thrift stores and resale shops.
That’s not all, as the downtown area has a gift shop, a vintage store and even an art gallery that hosts painting parties.
At least once a year, the Chamber of Commerce hosts a Main Street Garage Sale. Residents set up their items on the sidewalk along the downtown strip.
Historic Downtown
Teague is known for its historic homes (often hosting a tour at Christmas time) and turn of the century buildings.
The old train depot now serves as the B-RI Railroad Museum, housing an extensive collection of artifacts and photographs.
Nearby, the Teague Hotel has been an ongoing project for the Teague Historical Preservation Society. New windows were installed and the first floor renovations completed for the community to use.
Annual Events
Home to the largest amateur rodeo, the City of Teague pulls out all the stops for their annual July Fourth Rodeo. Prior to the three-day event, businesses decorate for Western Week, the Chamber of Commerce cook up tasty hamburgers and a patriotic parade kicks off the first night of rodeo fun.
Halloween is a big deal in this small town. Costumed kids, and their parents, trick-or-treat from house to house, sometimes catching up with an impromptu hayride.
Christmas brings the yearly Parade of Lights, along with visits with Santa (who typically arrives by train).
