Keep your site clean and even better than when you find it. Take all your trash out. – T. Vuong Ada, MI Not to walk through someone else’s campsite without permission. Most neighbors probably wouldn’t mind at all if you needed to come through, but good manners would dictate walking around. – S. Hutton Madison, MS If you need to arrive after hours to a campground because, well stuff happens, then please be considerate and mindful of other campers to minimize noise and light disruption.

INTRODUCTION Tucked into the hills of Texas is a bustling, yet quaint, German town. Founded in 1846, Fredericksburg wasn’t the original destination for thousands of German immigrants who were promised an exciting life in the New World. In an attempt to colonize the vast open lands of Texas, many efforts were made to entice European immigrants to leave the harsh conditions abroad and colonize the New World. Once such group, Verein zum Schutze Deutscher Einwanderer, also known as Adelsverein, a German Emigration company, promised German immigrants’ ownership of tracts of land to farm to create a future for themselves. The original 3.8 million acres of land was situated between the Llano and Colorado Rivers and in the heart of hostile Comanche hunting grounds. An ill-managed Adelsverein meant thousands of German immigrants…

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO VISIT A PLACE WHERE PINEAPPLE FOUNTAINS GREET YOU AND ROW HOMES LOOK LIKE RAINBOWS? Where cobblestones are commonplace and history is the leading lady? This place exists.
