Our  Museums

Pioneer Museum | Vereins Kirche

Pioneer Museum Complex

We operate two museums, the largest being the Pioneer Museum Complex which was created in 1956 when the Historical Society bought the home, smokehouse and barn of  Henry Kammlah and turned it into a small museum. Since then six major structures have been added and the museum has frontage on  two streets.

Operating hours Monday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm
Sunday 1 - 5 pm
Telephone (830) 990-8441

Admission is $4 for ages 11 and up. 
We also have a great museum store inside the front room of the Kammlah house.
