This place is incredible. We live in Kerrville were visiting Fredricksburg for the day and just happened to find it on the list of fun things to do and this should definitely be in the top 5! The history behind the town is incredible, original buildings from when the town was built back in the late 1800's, and my 2 kids loved it as well. This is a perfect place to plan a few hours around while visiting Fredricksburg. A must stop location and an absolute hidden gem!

I thought the museum did a great job telling the story of the early settlers of Fredericksburg. Very family friendly, although strollers are difficult to get in and out of the exhibits. I’d say it’s a must see if you plan on visiting this town.

Nice collection of pioneers living. They didn't have it easy.

Sherry Fincher

A great collection of antiques but a more important story of the history of the area. I highly recommend taking your time to enjoy.

Interesting place that capture some of the feeling of what it must have been like living on the edge of civilization. The best time to go is during spring break when they do re-enactments all week long.

Kelly Sandifer

Excellent place to learn about the history of Fredericksburg

Tyler Allmon

This is a cheap spot to stop by and learn how people lived back in the time that the Germans settled in this area. The video is a great place to start to give you a great idea of the area and time before you explore the rest of the grounds. All of the people there were very knowledgeable. The last working the counter interacted with our kids very well. Even taught them some German! It's not a "must see" but it is still a fun and informative stop for a pretty cheap price. It's a good starting point for your Fredricksberg trip.

Stephen Bewley

Great place to learn about German history in central Texas.

Marine Sarrabezolles

Actually I cannot grade this museum since I arrived on Sunday to visit it and it was closed

Red Lloyd

Pretty cool place. History in the gift shop too if you don't want to pay the museum admission, don't have time, or it's too hot.

Carrie Curtis

Nice time for whole family and educational about pioneer days. 3 yr old and 13 yr old loved it

George Small

Very interesting displayed of actual living conditions. Being able to actually walk into frontier homes and see and feel the size gives you an appreciation of what life was like. Best part was that we learned that these settlers had the same family name as ours even though we were from another part of the country.

Roger Miller

Great place to go lots of historical info.

Kristin Benitez

My husband and I love this spot! It's such a fun visit - be sure to chat with the ladies inside for great stories of old Fredericksburg, before heading outside to see all the cool buildings. You can tour the collection of family houses, a Sunday house, a schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, and a bathhouse all in one compound.

David Mott

Very well designed and really informative.

J F

I honestly wasn't expecting much when we arrived but this ended up being one of my favorite places we went in Fredericksburg. Don't skip the video at the beginning it is very informative.

A Tkach

Interesting

Brent Barnard

We really enjoyed this museum. There are various houses and other buildings to visit on the grounds, and when you enter, a canned introduction begins to play, typically read by a descendant of the buildings' occupants. The variety of buildings is a real plus. However, I do wish the museum went to greater lengths to connect us with the everyday struggles of the occupants' lives. Maybe this is impossible after so much time has past, but I would've enjoyed knowing more about their joys and trials.

Deena Batten

This is a good place to spend a couple of hours in Fredericksburg. It is a museum complex, presenting old houses from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. The houses were interesting and included furniture and other items that would have been found in the houses. The real highlight was a demonstration by a man who was knowledgeable about old toys, musical instruments, and how to tie different types of knots. That description doesn't do him justice, but, trust me, the demonstrations where fantastic. He, like the rest of the staff, was very friendly and personable. I had a great time.

John Fetter

Great piece of Texas history. Made me admire the determination of the settlers of Fredericksburg.

Craig Spraggins

Nice walk through what it was like for settlers. Give you a new perspective on the joys of A/C.

Randy Carter

Cool place

George Clark

Turn down the thermostat. Cool day....but it must have been 85 inside. The elderly woman host must have poor circulation to keep it that warm. More touristy than historical.

Amanda Roberts

We had so much fun, and the girls were were engrossed in learning.

Carrie Davis

So much fun, and only $7.50 for adults. Very informative, and each historic building has audio about the home/building read aloud by actual descendents of the settlers who once lived there. The recordings start when you enter each building. Learned a lot! We were there for a little over 1.5 hours, but could've easily stretched it to two. If you're in the area, DO IT!!

usdragoons

Extensive displays and activities

Bonnie Bates

Very cool place!

Warren Wilder

Display of the history and people of Fredericksburg. Really friendly host and thoughtful displays. We spent about 90 minutes.

manuel rodriguez

Friendly, interesting history , very well kept

Bere Huerta

Tiene muy bonitos jardines en sus alrededores, pero me es muy difícil encontrarlo abierto. Me interesaría mucho visitarlo por dentro.

Silvia Miller

The Museum has some very interesting displays that explain the German heritage of Fredericksburg. I really enjoyed it.

Arnold Guajardo

Very cool place to visit. The grounds / homes are well kept and the lady up front was so helpful explaining everything.

stephanie curry

Beautiful! Great to walk at your own pace. We had a great time will be returning next time we visit Fredericksburg.

Chrissa Hartle

This is a wonderful place to visit in Fredericksburg, TX to learn about the local history. Nice self-guided tour in and out of old building with plenty of interesting displays and artifacts. Best to visit during sunny and warm weather but if raining, they have got you covered with umbrellas for loan.

Amy Farnell

We LOVED this place! Definitely stop if you're interested in seeing things from early Texas history, very entertaining

Deborah Dargaty

Wonderful and interesting site.

Richard Harleman

The staff was nice but the director guy was an insecure man who had to puff up his chest and walk around like he's really important. Not a good experience. It's unfortunate that a place for history and kids has to be run by a guy like that.

Clyde Waite

The Averill House Vineyard crew on the search for great wine enjoyed this town!

Vadym Fedorov

A good place to see an american pioneers life.

Abid Hamlani

Very nice place, the video is very helpful. Although, a great part of the history is listed in the main entrance, you can easily overlook it and miss the whole story. A lot of information would be missing without the video at the beginning.

Peggy Jackson

Awesome museum, love the video of how Fredericksburg started. The audio in each exhibit explaining the history. Professionally done.

Vicki Craig

Enjoyed the history shared

Michael Dobosh

Awesome place. A lot of history found there. Staff always ready to assist. Clean restrooms. Nice gifts to purchase for yourself and others. Prices small or larger depending on your choice. Take a tour. The Pioneer Museum should be on your lists of places to visit in the beautiful historic Fredericksburg Texas.

Carl C. Manion

Cool spot to checkout while you're in Fredericksburg.

Steve H.

Having access and to the historic homes and buildings with period furnishings was great, but overall this is still a small historic site. Combine this with something else in Fredericksburg to make your visit more worthwhile.

dougeedoug

Cool experience.

CK Hardin

Interactive and educational fun.

Paul Sloan

Great

Colby Worley

Great experience and a very cheap price. Really gives you a background of be area and helps you appreciate to culture of the area. I would recommend for any tourist coming to the area. When we were there they had fresh biscuits made on an open fire, live local music, rope making demonstration, blacksmith demonstration, and cowboys actually camping on the grounds!

stormie menges

Cute little museum for a few hours of walking and looking at all the artifacts. The employees there were super nice especially because my husband and I came about an hour before they closed. Would highly recommend! We'll definitely come back our next trip and make sure we get there for a little more time.

martha martha

Overrated for the cost to get in.

sabrina odom

One of my favorite places in all of Fredericksburg. Each house is like walking in time. My personal favorite was the 1930-1950 house. Doesn't cost a lot, and there is so much to see.

Carol Bottlinger

Wonderful if you love history and historical artifacts from small towns.

Riaan M Odendaal

This is a must visit. Specially when history is reenacted. Great for children.

John Rackley

I love this place. It's educational and very fun. The history of the area is amazing and cool. What I didn't like is the trash, probably from SA, picking up all the items like they own the place. Yeah you can guess their type is from south of the border and they don't have much respect for anything but the welfare system

Samantha Cassano

Awesome visit for $5 a person! My husband and I had a great time.

Tom Manacapilli

Must do if you really want to understand Fredericksburg.

Carie Whittaker

This place was wonderful. We learned so much about early Fredericksburg history and enjoyed the museum very much. Great price (7.5 per adult) and friendly staff. Cute gift store wrapped up the experience. Plan for at least an hour to go through all the exhibits.

Peggy Blaylock

Well organized and the tour guide was very knowledgeable; he had some interesting stories that went along with the many treasures.Loved it.

Ben Maxwell

Excellent place for Gillespie county history! Historical events and pioneer re-enactments are fantastic. Great family place.

Very nice facility. You must see this if you're nearby!

We have it so good today .

Josie Orrick

I loved this place. There was so much history of the town that was shared.

Alexander Brown

Interesting place to visit

Gary Acklin

We were here over Spring Break so there were a lot of extra things to do for the kids that weren't normally there. Our girls had a great time! They tried some campfire cooking, made knot dolls, saw the blacksmith, looked in all the buildings, and made some rope. Before we knew it we had spent over three hours there. Definitely worth the stop!

Angela Dunn

This is a great museum

JERRY RICHARDSON

Interesting history and friendly people.

Kade Long

Kind of ran down and stickers in the grass

Ursula Bowser

What a Great experience. You learn so much history in about an hour as you explore the some of first buildings in Fredericksburg.

Janice A. Vega Rodriguez

I love this place. Being able to go inside the houses and appreciate how they lived was amazing. You could appreciate the space and have an idea of how live used to be in this town. You can spend an hour or 2 if you go with kids. It's a kod friendly place and rhe staff is very nice! They also have a pecan peach jam in the gift shop that it's sooo good. You have to definitely try it!

David Rogers

Wonderful and interesting place to visit. You self guide yourself around the site with numerous buildings to visit. Very worthwhile place to come to and gives you great insight as to what it was like to live as early pioneers to Texas.
