This museum tells a detailed history of the settlement of Texas arraigned by German nobility in the mid 1800’s. There is an amazing collection of artifacts that were saved and donated by the German population. The lobby has a nice explanation of the evolution of the major oil companies. There is a short film that introduces the immigration process. There is a small, city like old town to walk through. The highlight to me is the age, conditions, and variety of artifacts. Cost is $ 8 for adults.

This was our 1st time here, which was very interesting and very nicely set up. If you like history, especially of this town of why and how it came to be, this will answer your questions. They have a lot of old artifacts it's small yet full of a lot of interesting information. How this Prince Carl Solms-Braunfels came to be and why it is New Braunfels. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. Be nice to go, at least so you know the history of New Braunfels.

A smaller Museum offering a clear glimpse into past local Germanic history. Unusual items have created this Museum, well worth meandering through & reading about it all. Prince Carl of Old Braunfels in Germany arrived here to create this town of New Braunfels. Dont firget to visit " Sophie's Shop," their German gift Shop. Enjoy the photos.

Not impressed! Its not a big musuem and pricey. We spent an hour there and seen and read everything they had to offer. Tried asking questions about my German sur name and Sylvia told me "oh that would be $10-$15 an hour for THEM TO RESEARCH." Then rambled on for another 10 minutes about insignificant information. She did make sure she got me the business card for their archives coordinator. She also referred me to their web site claiming I could do my own research. When I tried their website, the first thing that pops up is DONATE! The menu is blocked by their cookies statement and unless you agree you can't get to the menu. The musuem for active duty military is free which is nice however, if you are a retiree it doesn't...

This museum is wonderful. While it's not a large museum there is a lot to see and take in. I would have loved to spend more time but we were meeting a friend and could only spend 45 minutes. At $8 I think it's an extremely good value. It's a nice place to escape from heat and crowds and learn some history of New Braunfels! The amount of detail put into this museum was appreciated and not lost on us!

My only negative is that the employees were not friendly at all. I had read reviews about how helpful and nice they are. That was not our experience. The gift shop was wonderful but the woman behind the register literally didn't acknowledge us. Disappointing but definitely not enough to deter us from coming back or...

I really enjoyed this museum, me and my husband found it by accident just riding around trying to kill a little time before we can go to the room we are renting. Anyways the staff is super friendly and gives you a great introduction. I like history so it was nice to learn the history of new Braunfels. It is a small museum but that's ok, I enjoyed reading and looking at things from the 1800s and on. Also we were lucky enough to see some beautiful live deer in front of the museum (not part of the museum per say lol) but the deer let you watch them and baby talk them lol. Really nice museum and worth...
