No trip to Texas is complete without dropping by the town of Fredericksburg. Founded by German immigrants in the mid-1800s, Fredericksburg offers tourists a perfect mix of Texas’ charm and Germany’s soul. Home to less than 20,000 people, Fredericksburg boasts everything, from world-class wineries to a fusion of German and Texan flavors.
Most tourists don’t visit Fredericksburg, primarily because it’s a small town. But some of the state’s most interesting culture and history are actually tucked away in these roadside stops. The Pioneer Museum or the National Museum of the Pacific War, for example, feature images and items belonging to the region’s first German settlers.
