PIONEER MUSEUM

WHAT IS PIONEER MUSEUM?

Pioneer Museum is a combination museum and historical site of 3.5 acres located in downtown Fredericksburg. In the mid-1840s, Germans looking for a better life were reading and hearing about Texas as a land of limitless opportunity. They risked everything to get here. They tenaciously faced every obstacle and created a unique German colony in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  Come share their story. 

​

Enjoy a self-guided tour of our grounds at a leisurely pace and glimpse into the daily lives of the German pioneers of the Texas Hill Country. Among the historic homesteads and buildings are a one-room schoolhouse, log cabin, Sunday house, bath house, barn and smokehouse, all of which showcase artifacts and architecture. Also on our grounds, the Fredericksburg Volunteer Fire Department Museum displays pieces of early 20th century firefighting equipment.

​

Located at 325 W Main Street, our museum grounds are shaded by large pecan trees and landscaped with native plants.​
