Fredericksburg Attractions

In the hill country north-west of San Antonio there is still much evidence of German settlement, a prime example being the pretty down of Fredericksburg with its "Hauptstrasse". Fredericksburg's most famous son is Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, to whom a museum is dedicated. Luckenbach too was founded by Germans. Today it has 25 inhabitants, not much different from 1850.
