Group and School Tours

The Gillespie County Historical Society offers three major type of tours. Our German Meal Tour, Custom Home Tours and school museum tours.

 
Our German Meal Tour is a program where our guests come to tour the Pioneer Museum/Vereins Kirche and then enjoy a homemade German meal prepared by our local volunteers and served either in our Social Hall or out on the grounds of the Pioneer Museum. We even add evening entertainment for those who want to waltz a little after dinner.

   

Our Custom Home Tour is a program where we create an itinerary of various local homes, churches
and points of interest, all shaped to meet the needs of your group. Many times groups add the German Meal to this and we enjoy doing that. 

Our School tours bring students to our Pioneer Museum, Vereins Kirche and Ft. Martin Scott. We also custom shape the itinerary to fit the time limitations and curriculum needs of the individual class. We encourage all grades K-12, Junior Colleges, and four year colleges to take advantage of  our sites. We feel we provide an opportunity to teach across a broad spectrum.
