Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites
Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites, State historic site and brewery ruins in La Grange, Texas.
The historic sites stand on a sandstone bluff 200 feet above the Colorado River, featuring a monument, tomb, and nineteenth-century brewery remains.
In 1848, the remains of Texan soldiers from the Dawson Massacre and Mier Expedition were reinterred in a limestone tomb at Monument Hill.
German immigrant Heinrich Kreische established the third largest brewing operation in Texas, producing the renowned Kreische Bluff Beer until 1884.
Visitors can access both historic sites through State Loop 92 in La Grange, with guided tours available to explore the monument and brewery structures.
The property combines two distinct elements of Texas heritage: a memorial to fallen soldiers and one of the state's earliest commercial brewing operations.
