New Braunfels Museum of Art

The Heritage Society of New Braunfels is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich 19th-century heritage of New Braunfels, Comal County, and Texas. Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture houses a remarkable collection of structural and domestic artifacts from the early European settlers, particularly the German immigrant community. The museum's extensive collection includes exquisite pieces crafted by renowned Tischlermeisters Heinrich Scholl Jr. and Johann Michael Jahn in the traditional mid-19th century Biedermeier style. With its beautifully wooded 11-acre grounds along the historic El Camino Real de los Tejas, the Heritage Society offers visitors a glimpse into the past through its exhibits and living history displays. The museum not only showcases the unique Texas Biedermeier furniture style but also highlights the influence of German craftsmanship on Texas decorative arts. Through its preservation efforts and educational programs, the Heritage Society invites visitors to explore and appreciate the cultural heritage of New Braunfels and its early settlers.Generated from the website
