Texas Hill Countries German LutheransTexas Hill Countries German LutheransApril 13 - 17, 2007. Our motorhome is at Lady Bird Johnson City Park 3-miles south of Fredericksburg on SR-16; $20 FHU including cable with paved sites. We tend to like Lady Bird Johnson City Park when we are in Fredericksburg because the RV-sites are situated under the canopy of mature pecan trees but there are several more that are good as well. The Fredericksburg RV-Park on Highway street is another good park but it cost more and doesn't have mature trees that provide shade. When visiting the Hill Country of Texas the first thing you need to get used to is this sign and what it means. Loose livestock means there are no fences so watch out for cows, sheep, goats, whatever in the highway. It takes a bit of getting used to but it makes sense in many areas especially when lightly traveled roads are passing through private property.
Texas Hill Country German Lutheran Church
I can not say for certain where Joyce took this picture. But it was either in Fredericksburg or in one of the communities around Fredericksburg.
Texas Hill Country German Lutheran Church
Beautiful country churches dot the Hill Country landscape. We like the ones constructed of light colored sandstone or limestone like this German Lutheran church in Cherry Springs a small community about 25-miles north of Fredericksburg.
Texas Hill Country German Lutheran Church north of Fredericksburg
This German Lutheran church is located in the small community of Cherry Spring located about 25-miles north of Fredericksburg. Cherry Spring was a stop along the old San Antonio-El Paso road. The community dates from the late 1840s / early 1850s when German settlers left the safety of Fredericksburg to strike out on their own.
German Lutherans in the Texas Hill Country
Isn't it amazing how long German was spoken here. It seems that America is having a debate now on whether English should be the official language when so much seems to be in Spanish. How on earth did this country flourish from the mid-1850's to the 1950's with the country speaking multiple languages?
