Luckenbach, Musical ghost town in Gillespie County, Texas.
Located 13 miles from Fredericksburg, Luckenbach contains a general store, dance hall, and post office surrounded by Texas Hill Country landscape.
German settlers established the community in the 1840s, naming it after Jacob Luckenbach who arrived aboard the Brig Johann Dethardt in 1846.
The dance hall hosts regular country music performances, maintaining Texas musical traditions through gatherings of local and national performers.
Visitors reach Luckenbach via Farm to Market Road 1376, with the general store offering merchandise and refreshments during daytime hours.
The community set a Guinness World Record in 2009 when hundreds of guitar players gathered to perform simultaneously at Pickin for the Record.
