Fredericksburg, TX, United States

Welgehausen Ranch German immigrants Friedrich Welgehausen and his wife Juliane built a one-room log cabin here in the 1850s. After their son Conrad and his wife Margaretha (Walter) acquired the property in 1873, they enclosed the cabin within their two-story limestone house. Other early structures h

ere include the barn, built originally as a rock and log house, and a two-story log cabin, which serves as a guest house. The Welgehausen family owned the property until 1975. Recorded Texas Historic
