Fredericksburg Historic District

Fredericksburg Historic District is a neighborhood in Texas with over 80 historic sites and buildings spread across shaded streets. The area shows American Craftsman style mixed with older commercial buildings and a former railway line that once ran through the district.

The neighborhood began developing in 1737 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Buildings in the area span three centuries and tell the story of how the town grew over time.

German roots run through the neighborhood and show up in how buildings look and how people celebrate together throughout the year. These traditions shape daily life and give the district its distinct character.

Free maps are available at the Information Center on East Austin Street to help you find your way around independently. It is helpful to allow time for walking and exploring the streets at a leisurely pace.

Industrial buildings sit near an old railroad line alongside residential homes, creating an unusual mix of historical commercial and living spaces. This layout shows how commerce and daily life were closely connected in the past.
