The Gillespie County Historical Society (GCHS) was charted in 1935 as stewards of the newly built Vereins Kirche Museum. Over the last eighty-six years, the GCHS has continued its care of the Vereins Kirche, while also adding the 3.5-acre Pioneer Museum complex; the Schandua House; the Marschall-Meusebach Cemetery, and most recently, interpretation at the Old Gillespie County Jail.
Along with caring for these historic sites, the GCHS office also provides help with research; image identification; general history queries regarding Fredericksburg and Gillespie County, and providing tours of our properties for both schools and adult tour groups.
The Pioneer Museum will inspire visitors of all ages as they discover these amazing stories.
