The Vereins Kirche Museum tells the story of the two Vereins Kirche buildings. The story begins with the first German settlers to Texas and continues to present-day Fredericksburg from the view of the Vereins Kirche.
The original Vereins Kirche was a multi-purpose building which stood in the middle of Main Street for fifty years (1847-1897). The building was a church, school, and meeting place for the people of the young community. The original building was demolished in 1896.
The replica Vereins Kirche was completed in time for Founders Day 1935. This version, too, has been home to many different entities including the Pioneer Memorial Library, a museum operated by the Gillespie County Historical Society, the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce, and a one-day post office.
