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 lot of history in a small space. The people are very friendly and helpful! Interesting from the time they purchased this land, to all the great displays of businesses.
What a cute museum! We enjoyed learning about the city of NB and its rich German history. The murals around town make a lot more sense if you understand the story behind them!
Thank You, Corporate Verein Members
