Fredericksburg is one of Central Texas' most unique getaway destinations, originally founded in 1846 by German pioneers. The lovely town preserves it German heritage, known throughout the American South for its unique Texas German dialect. A wide variety of German-themed attractions are open for couples to explore on weekend getaways, including the Pioneer Museum, which preserves a collection of settler homesteads dating back to the mid-19th century. Its stunning Fredericksburg Historic District is home to beautiful National Register of Historic Places-listed buildings, including the 19th-century Vereins Kirche, a reconstruction of a traditional German-style church. Military exhibits are on display at The National Museum of the Pacific War. Couples can also pick their own fruit at a number of area farms, which have earned the region the nickname "The Peach Capital of Texas."
