The Pioneer Museum is dedicated to the conservation, preservation, and celebration of the historical and cultural heritage of the Texas Hill Country. The 3 acre campus of the museum, landscaped with native plants is the home of 11 historical structures representing architectural styles and building techniques employed throughout the region from the 1840’a through the 1920’s. Beyond its collection of artifacts and decorative arts, the museum’s archive collection includes an extensive collection of historical photographs. Also, the Museum is actively seeking, collecting, and storing the oral histories of individuals and families who in their own words recall the past to share with future generations, The Pioneer Museum also maintains and operates the Vereins Kirche, which without a doubt is the “architectural icon” of the community. Its unique octagonal profile is synonymous with Fredericksburg as is seen in the many ways its profile has been incorporated into the contemporary logos of many public and private enterprises operating throughout Gillespie County. Located at the center of Fredericksburg’s Marktplatz, the “VK” is a symbol of the community’s beginnings and the strong sense of community that persists to this day.
