PIONEER MUSEUM
Germans looking for a better life risked everything to get to Gillespie County in the mid-1840s. When they arrived, they created a unique German colony in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
Pioneer Museum and the Gillespie County Historical Society pay tribute to the history of those German emigrants through a series of activities hosted on the museum grounds.
PIONEER MUSEUM GROUNDS
The Pioneer Museum grounds is a combination museum and historical site on 3.5 acres featuring historic homesteads and buildings donated by founding families of Gillespie County.
Among these are a one-room schoolhouse, log cabin, Sunday house, bath house, barn and smokehouse that showcase artifacts and architecture which help to preserve and tell their story.
Also, visitors may browse through the Fredericksburg Volunteer Fire Department Museum which displays pieces of early 20th century firefighting equipment.
