They have an old school house, home, blacksmith shop and more. See what life was like in the good old days when they had no air conditioning, no running water and no dentists or electricity. A must see for anyone interested in history. Included in admission is entrance to the Verein church down the road.

This was a cool museum to visit in Fredericksburg. It takes…read morevisitors through the way of life of early German settlers (pioneers). We did a self-guided tour and enjoyed exploring the schoolhouse, church, etc. Pictures and artifacts from pioneer times were interesting to see. Very informative and educational visit.

They decided to revamp workshops taking them out in nature to pavilions. Interesting choice! Unfortunately for us, Central Texas was still in a heat wave at the end of October. The first day was unbearable for us by the afternoon. Although the huge big fans on the ceiling helped, we could have really used those huge mister fans as well. Our Pavillion experience: I am going to start the grumpy old man... event manager I guess would be a good title for him, or land manager, or maintenance man. Typical German grumpy old man. And when I say old, he's probably closer to my age. None the less, grumpy. I can bring up the German part too, as my father grew up in Fredericksburg, a hundred years ago. My dad and his dad probably knew each other, you know small towns. The Germans are known as "Square Heads". Stubborn, and don't like outsiders. So back to the story... by second day, I had to go find him. We were out of hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. WTH?! They were out of soap?... really? You have a 3-day event booked and you don't make sure that all this is prepped up in advance?! By the third day, there was hand soap plus all the paper products just left on the counter for us to fend for ourselves. Ridiculous. Bathrooms were not maintained and cleaned. This dude was worthless. He just wanted to ride around on his cart and cut tree limbs... didn't want anything to do with us wo-wo hippy looking folks. Epic fail. 0 stars for the grumpy old man. The pavilion itself is beautiful with beautiful views. The traffic noise is distracting. The screens that go up and down are absolutely killer! They help keep the pavilion cool when down, or lift up for that breeze to flow through better. There seems to have been a kitchen as well. I would recommend the venue for events... just be sure to check on who's in charge of event maintenace making sure there is someone willing to make sure event is well ran.

Friedricksburg is a town in the middle of Texas that was founded and proudly kept in its "original"…read moreGerman style. Yes, you heard me... once upon a few 100 years ago, some German immigrants, managed to found a town in which their heritage (religion, food, manners, buildings, household appliances) could be maintained. Nowadays, such a unicity has been kept alive in spirit, and tourist-attractive mode. Taking this into consideration, this museum uas seen (i believe) better days and better use. However, i must praise the locals and their need to keep their origins and heritage as much intact as they possibly could.

During our wine tasting, we made reservations for a late lunch at Vaudeville. Reservations are highly recommended. Our server was excellent in all aspects...friendly, accommodating, recommendations, etc. I had a delicious French dip and my wife had the Reuben, which was also delicious. We split the two. The sandwiches are large and my wife took half of hers home. The vibe was cheerful....talking and laughter, but not at all too loud or obnoxious. If you are in Fredericksburg, I highly recommend Vaudeville. We have not had dinner there, but look forward to it on another occasion.

The restaurant is dimly lit creating a very intimate setting with the most helpful staff. Amy served us and was helpful with recommendations and allowed us to slowly move through the menu. Every dish was wonderful, fresh, and tasty. The top dish was a surprise to me but the She Crab Curry soup was such a unique dish. Spicy and savory with the most comforting feeling. The wine recommendation was also superb and the dessert a great way to end the evening. I'll def come back!
