Gillespie County has always had an independent streak eople love Gillespie County for its German roots, agricultural heritage, and, now, its growing wine industry. Visitors by the hundreds of thousands come to experience the 1DWLRQDO 0XVHXP RI WKH 3DFLÂżF :DU DUW JDOOHULHV Main Street’s quaint shops, upscale restaurants or Luckenbach’s legendary “laid-backness.â€? But it wasn’t always so. In fact, Gillespie was considered an outlier in the early days of the state. Voy Althaus is a fourth-generation Fredericksburger, a retired geologist and lifelong student of history. He said the independent minds of the German immigrants to Texas cost them dearly in the early days of the state. Althaus said the German immigrants saw no SRLQW LQ WKH 1RUWK 6RXWK FRQĂ€LFW DQG GLGQÂśW EHlieve in slavery. And like Texas Gov. Sam Houston, they also didn’t want the state to secede from the Union. (Houston thought Texas would fare better as an independent Republic than as a part of the Confederacy.) Houston was ambiguous about convening a legislative convention, so he instead called for a counW\ E\ FRXQW\ YRWH :KHQ WKH VHFHVVLRQ FRQYHQWLRQ was called in 1861, most counties supported it.

They took seriously having sworn their loyalty to their adopted country.â€? After Texas did secede, things were quiet for the ÂżUVW \HDU RI WKH ZDU %XW WKH *HUPDQV KHUH IRUPHG the Union Loyal League, which evolved into a Union Infantry.

made haste for Gillespie County. About 70 Union sympathizers knew they were marked so they chose to head to Mexico until the furor blew over. These German-Texans thought they had 30 days to get to Mexico. Unfortunately, the Confederate Cavalry caught up with them after just two days. As the Germans sat feasting on game and singing songs on the banks of the Nueces River, just 50 miles from the Rio Grande, they were set upon by the Cavalry and massacred. Even the captured German Texans were executed. The massacre didn’t affect the Gillespie population too much, Althaus said, but it affected ÂżJKWLQJ DJH PHQ &RPIRUWÂśV JHQHUDWLRQ RI \RXQJ male settlers was nearly wiped out.

Here, Althaus said, they stayed insulated, and while perhaps not the friendliest to outsiders, they kept their culture and language alive. There are now sixth-generation German-Texans living here who are descendants of the original VHWWOHUV $QG WKHVH GD\V YLVLWRUV ZLOO ÂżQG WKLV RSHQ and friendly to ausländers. It’s easy to see an independent mindset of Gillespie County folks. But that’s what also has helped establish the groundwork for this fabulous town. From stout German architecture to food and festivals which celebrate the culture, Fredericksburg is a little bit of Germany in the heart of Texas. So, willkommen :H KRSH \RX ÂżQG \RXU YLVLW both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Unlike many towns in the “South,� there is not a Confederate monument on Fredericksburg’s town square. But the Vereins Kirche is a nod to the area’s German heritage.

DARK BLUE DOWN SOUTH Fourth-generation resident Voy Althaus recently published “Dark Blue Down South,� a historical novel based on the German Texans who chose to be loyal to the union during the Civil War. His novel places two young men who hid from the Confederate conscription, fled to Mexico and made their way back to the U.S. to fight with the Northern unit for the remaining three years of the Civil War.

History Since its beginning before the turn of the century, the Gillespie County Fair has been held at numerous locations, including the banks of Baron’s Creek just east of the city on the site of Old Fort Martin Scott. Later it was moved to where the Turner Hall is now located on West Travis Street, and after that it was held on a knoll near what is today headquarters for the city electrical department off U.S. Highway 87 South.

It is serious business for livestock exhibitors at the Gillespie County Fair held at the Gillespie County Fair Grounds. — StandardRadio Post file photo

Years afterward, the fair was conducted at what people today call the old fair grounds, two blocks from Main Street on the Kerrville Highway. The present facility, located off Texas Highway 16 South, was dedicated in 1976 during the U.S. Bicentennial.

FLYING HIGH at LBJ State Park

The fun of flying kites can be enjoyed by all when the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site at Stonewall hosts its Annual LBJ Kite Day. — Standard-Radio Post file photo

The Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site and Stonewall is more than just a drive-through. Visitors will want to park their cars so they can walk the nature trails, take a step back in time at a living history farm and browse through the historical exhibits and memorabilia. There are also recreational facilities, shopping and more. In fact, there is so much to see and do at the state park that “folks should plan and shouldn’t be in too big a hurry if they want to really enjoy it all,” said, Iris Neffendorf, park superintendent. LBJ State Park and Historic Site is a day-use park with no park entrance fees, but donations are accepted.

There’s also an outdoor amphitheater used for a variety of programs.

SMALL PARK, BIG VIEWS Old Tunnel State Park’s ‘bat show’ draws visitors for sunset spectacle The smallest Wildlife Management Area in Texas — Old Tunnel State Park, a mere 16.1 acres, houses more mammals than any other WMA in the Lone Star State. For six months out of the year three million-plus bats make their home inside the 920-foot landmark railroad tunnel, which was built in 1913 and used by the Fredericksburg and Northern Railway until its abandonment in 1941. Brazilian Free-tailed Bats, as well as an estimated 3,000 cave myotis bats funnel out of a now-defunct railroad tunnel between May and October. The Old Tunnel WMA, located at 10619 Old San Antonio Road (around 11 miles south of Fredericksburg), is open sun-rise to sunset, 365 days a year. During the summer and early fall months, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hosts daily sessions to educate visitors about the bats. Then, at dusk, viewing sessions are held where spectators can watch as a “black tornadoâ€? forms before their eyes as thousands of bats leave behind their roosts inside the abandoned railroad tunnel, swirling out en masse on their QLJKWO\ IRUDJLQJ Ă€LJKWV To better see the bats on their nightly runs, the park offers an upper viewing deck and a lower observation level which is closer to the bat tunnel and walking trail.

In addition, the upper viewing deck contains glass-plated biological displays aimed at educating the public on the life cycle of the bats and their importance to the ecological system. Park guides conduct an educational program in the lower observation area closer to the tunnel about 30 minutes to an hour prior to the estimated bat emergence times on Thursday through Sunday evenings.

Since the program start depends upon the emergence times (which vary with sunset times), the Old Tunnel WMA maintains an informational phone line to distribute updated information.

Further information is also available on the Internet on the Old Tunnel WMA’s TPWD web page at: http://tpwd.texas.gov/stateparks/old-tunnel. Picnic tables are available at the park, along with a halfmile bird-watching trail. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times and must be allowed to go no farther than the public parking lot.

ENCHANTED ROCK A respite from the world Any time of day or night, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is a wonder to behold. Seen from miles away due to its size and shape, Enchanted Rock stretches up 1,825 feet in elevation and reaches out to grab the interest of thousands of hikers, campers and other outdoor lovers who take the time to visit the 640-acre park near the Gillespie/Llano county line each year. Located about 16 miles north of Fredericksburg, the park also is one of the best area places to see the stars at night shine big and bright. It was one of two parks in Texas to be designated an International Dark Sky Park. The designation means that Enchanted Rock’s lighting sources now comply with the International Dark Sky Alliance requirements, which not only saves energy for the park, but assures that visitors from the city experience a night sky uninterrupted by bright lights. It also helps the area promote low-impact ecotourism in one of the Hill Country’s major tourist destinations. Download the

BOYHOOD HOME National park offers glimpse into LBJ’s life A detailed look into the life and land of one of America’s former presidents can be seen at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Stonewall. The park is actually divided into two components — one in Johnson City and the other in Stonewall. The LBJ Ranch is a mile east of Stonewall on the north side of the Pedernales River. It is a companion attraction to the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site, which is located along the river’s southern banks. The other district in Johnson City in Blanco County is made up of the LBJ Boyhood Home and the Johnson Settlement. Among the annual spring and summer events at the LBJ Ranch are the LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour on March 28, 50th Anniversary of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act on April 11, the “Movies Under the Stars� events (June 6, July 11 and Sept. 12) and the 107th anniversary of LBJ’s Birth Wreathlaying Ceremony on Aug. 27.

Take a walk...any time of the year Any time is a good time for a stretch of the legs, especially if it’s in the Texas Hill Country. The local walking club—Volkssportverein Friedrichsburg (VVF)—has established six self-paced, year-round routes. All six walks have been developed as 5K (3.1 miles) and 10K (6.2 miles) distances although it is possible to shorten the distances unless walking for credit. In addition to the four designated routes inside the city limits, the club has also plotted out routes at the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site in Stonewall and at the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. These walks are sanctioned by the American Volkssport Association as Year-Round Walks.

Library history Pioneer Memorial Library is housed in a former Gillespie County Courthouse, which was designed by Alfred Giles. It served from 1882 until 1939, when it was replaced by the larger courthouse next door. Various civic and governmental organizations continued to use the original building until it was closed in 1963. Two years later, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene McDermott of Dallas funded the preservation of the old structure so that it could become Pioneer Memorial Library. It was dedicated in May 1967. In 1983 McDermott provided a matching grant for repairs and expansion. The community responded to her challenge, and a completely renovated library was dedicated in December 1984. facebook.com/gofred1

Before Main Street became a magnet About the time Waylon and Willie were making Luckenbach, Texas a household name, a young photographer from Dallas was spending summers interviewing families with deep roots in Gillespie County. The author, Philip O’Bryan Montgomery III, worked for the Fredericksburg Standard as an intern and began work on a project that would, decades later, result in a special book chronicling local German-Texans, “Our Way of Life.� Published by Shearer Publishing of Fredericksburg, the book shows wisdom and insight that belied the young author. The book features black-and-white duotone photographs and interviews of 28 local families. All the names of the families helped shape the community into what it is today: Basse, Dietz, Frantzen, Hartmann, Itz, Jenschke, Jung, Kirchner, Moellering, Petmecky, Schandua, Schmidt and Schuch, among others. Montgomery wrote in the preface: “This book began as an object of my growing up, or so it seemed, in Freder-

He is honored each year during the Gillespie County Historical Society’s Founders Day observance.

The county was created from Bexar and Travis counties, and encompasses 1,061 square miles. The city was incorporated on Aug. 23, 1933 and is governed by a Home Rule Charter. The county conducts business through a board of four commissioners and one judge. Fredericksburg is the county seat of Gillespie County. Other communities include Doss, Harper, Luckenbach, Stonewall and Willow City.

The original Vereins Kirche (community church) was used not only as a church (kirche), but also as a fort, a storehouse and a community meeting hall.

CROSS MOUNTAIN As the sun goes down, Cross Mountain still watches over Fredericksburg. The cross is lit from 6 p.m. to midnight every evening. — Standard-Radio Post file photo Even though many things in Fredericksburg have changed since its founding, one thing has remained the same, and that is the fact that there has always been a cross atop Cross Mountain. Rising to an elevation of 1,951 feet above sea level, the cross has been viewable from a distance which has made Cross Mountain Park a recognized historic landmark. Cross Mountain is located on North Milam Street alongside Ranch Road 965. A new sign was recently installed at the entrance, making the site easier to spot. After recent volunteer work done by The Friends of the Fredericksburg Nature Center, visitors can now walk up the hill safely on a stairway path to reach the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of Fredericksburg and surrounding area. There are also two trails that circle the mountain, one at the base and the other half way up the mountain, where visitors can look at the different plant life and wildlife in the area. No vehicles are allowed up the hill but parking is available at the foot of the mountain. @GoFred1

History The history of Cross Mountain reaches far back. When the early settlers arrived here in 1846, they found the remnants of a wooden cross that had been erected there most probably by the Spanish missionaries who had by then established missions in San Antonio, San Saba and other areas of Texas. For the Indians, too, it was a landmark as it lay on the Pinta Trail, one of the oldest Indian trails in the state. From the Pinta Trail crossing on the Pedernales River, the trail divided, with this branch following the Upper Crabapple Road in the direction of Bear Mountain and then on to Enchanted Rock and beyond. Cross Mountain gained its name when an early-day German settler, John Christian Durst, found the old cross of heavy timbers at its summit that was presumably erected by the Spanish missionaries. He named it “Kreuzberg” (Cross Mountain), a name that has never changed. In the summer of 1848, Father George Menzel, a Bohemian priest, erected a more substantial cross as a symbol of redemption and civilization.

During the Diamond Jubilee of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1921, a more permanent cross was placed on top of the hill. It was constructed of concrete, reinforced steel and sheet metal. It was vandalized over the years, but was rebuilt by St. Mary’s in 1940. :KHQ UXUDO HOHFWUL¿FDWLRQ FDPH WR WKH area in 1946, the cross was illuminated. It burns bright each evening from 6 p.m.-midnight. The park was purchased by Dr. J. Hardin Perry in the 1900s to keep it from being developed. It then ended up in the ownership of the Gillespie County Historical Society, which could not afford to do anything with it. In 1999, the City of Fredericksburg obtained ownership of the historic landmark by making a three-way trade between GCHS and the St. Joseph’s Credit Union. The park is now maintained by the City of Fredericksburg Parks and Recreation Department. $Q RI¿FLDO 7H[DV +LVWRULFDO &RPPLVsion marker was dedicated in observance of Founders Day on May 7, 1977, and the Nature Trail was dedicated during the 1978 Founders Day activities.

Public restrooms are located on the Adams Street side of the building. Additional restroom facilities are located in an adjacent building. One of the most active areas of the square is a playground that is a favorite spot for parents to bring their children. A cover has been added to provide shade from the sun. Children can keep entertained at the playground while their parents participate in events being held on the grounds at one of the three covered pavilions — the Adelsverein Halle, the Oktoberfest Halle and the Kinder Halle. Also included on Marktplatz are brick walkways, numerous arbors and a History Walk that honors the pioneers of the community, including President Lyndon B. Johnson, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and the men and women who have served in the armed forces, along with Jacob Brodbeck, a pioneer resident of here who was an early aviator. A statue of Fredericksburg-born composer Frank Valentin van der Stucken is located in the Pioneer Garden on the square. Also located in the Pioneer Garden near the water wheel is a near-life-size bronze statue of Meusebach’s yet-unbroken peace treaty with the Comanche Indians.

THE SPIRIT OF FREDERICKSBURG Bravery. Honesty. Cooperation. Those are just some of the positive traits shown by early settlers to Fredericksburg. Together, they carved out an existence rich in culture and quality of life, while building the foundation for a town that continues to flourish more than a century and a half later. Clean streets, pride in property, and respect for neighbors are a part of what makes Fredericksburg one of America’s favorite small towns. And working together is still an attribute that pervades the city’s spirit.
