New Braunfels, Texas City Guide
For over 20 years, Pamela Lanier's New Braunfels, Texas Travel Guide has been your connection to New Braunfels's tourism community with invaluable details on local attractions, restaurants, shopping, museums, history, outdoor recreation and more.
Museums
 Visit the Sophienburg Museum for a trip back in time and feel what life was like for the German settlers. Dedicated to preserving the history of the settlement of New Braunfels, the museum relates the history through the display of artifacts and displays of early life in New Braunfels as well as an extensive collection of personal and public historical documents.
At the New Braunfels Heritage Village you can wander through a preserved settlement surrounded by live oaks and wildflowers on an eleven acre site. Also there, in the historic Breustedt-Dillen house, is the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture. This pristine white farmhouse is surrounded by restored outbuildings and scale model shops that are the center of the village’s “Living History Experience.”
In another grand effort to preserve the German heritage of the area, the new Braunfels Conservation Society has restored and furnished 14c buildings from the 1800s. The structures were moved from the original downtown New Braunfels and together form a genuine German village called Conservation Plaza that even has its own on-site bed and breakfast.
