Description

Spend the day in Schulenburg touring two painted churches and two museums. A local step-on-guide will take us through the churches. The churches appear unassuming as you approach them, but as you enter the front doors, prepare to have your breath taken away by the incredible beauty found inside. These churches have some of the most beautiful painted artwork and stained glass windows. In the middle of the tour, we will stop for lunch at Oakridge Smokehouse Restaurant in Schulenburg. After lunch we will visit the Schulenburg Historic Museum and the E.A. Arnim Archives & Museum. The Schulenburg Museum provides a glimpse into the life in the early days of the rural German-Czech community. The museum houses two significant books about the history of Schulenburg. The E.A. Arnim Archives & Museum is in Flatonia, TX. This museum was established in 1988 and has grown to be one of the largest rural museums in Central Texas. Devoted to preserving the history and cultural heritage of the area, the museum’s exhibits illustrate the settlement, early history and continuing development of Flatonia. Churches and museums are handicap accessible. Cost includes motor coach transportation, lunch, admission fees and tips.
