The Pioneer Museum- In the mid-1840s, Germans looking for a better life were reading and hearing about Texas as a land of limitless opportunities. They risked everything to get here, faced every obstacle and created a unique German colony in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Thus the The Pioneer Museum came about! The grounds are a combination museum and historical site on 3.5 acres featuring historic homesteads and buildings donated by founding families of Gillespie County. Among the structures are a one-room schoolhouse, log cabin, a Sunday house, a bath house, a barn, and a smokehouse that showcase artifacts and architecture which help to preserve and tell the stories of the early settlers. Visitors also may browse through the Fredericksburg Volunteer Fire Department Museum which displays pieces of early 20th century fire-fighting equipment. Vereins Kirche Museum- Just two blocks away from the main grounds stands the Vereins Kirche (“Society Church”). The Vereins Kirche is located in the middle of the town square, called Marktplatz. This is a replica of the first public building constructed by the pioneers in Fredericksburg. The original, built in 1847, served as a combination church, school, and community center for decades. A replica was built in 1935, the project that launched the Gillespie County Historical Society.  https://www.pioneermuseum.net/, 830-990-8441. 325 W.
