Fredericksburg has been named in Guideposts Magazine as one of the top 10 small towns in America and named as one of five “art towns” in the Southwest by Southwest Art Magazine. Fredericksburg was settled by families emigrating from Germany in 1846. Many of the buildings in town retain traditional German styles with most of Main Street along with the parallel streets comprising National Register Historic District. You can still hear German spoken and the old customs are still observed. Why do visitors choose Fredericksburg for their Texas family vacation? We hear lots of reasons, including the beauty of the countryside and European atmosphere, great Texas hiking, biking, restaurants, wineries and the wonderful museums including the The Nimitz museum and Museum of the Pacific War plus state and national parks and the ongoing events and festivals .
