The Pioneer Museum
Hill Country Trail Region
Heinrich Kammlah built a house, smokehouse and barn in 1849. The Kammlah family gradually expanded the house into an 11-room residence and general store. The restored homestead stands at the heart of the Pioneer Museum. The four-acre historical village also includes the 1876 Fassel-Roeder House, 1880s Walton-Smith log cabin, 1904 Weber Sunday House and fire department museum. Periodic events demonstrate pioneer skills. Immerse yourself in the life the early Fredericksburg pioneers – most of them German – through historic artifacts, photographs, and motion-activated audio tours at each of the Pioneer Museum’s ten historic buildings.
