I really enjoyed this tour of German history. It was great reading about the roots of Fredericksburg and seeing the very cool buildings.
Being of German descent I found this museum particularly interesting. We were greeted by a very nice women with lots of information. Loved the way the buildings were displayed with lots of period items. Stop by and enjoy the walk around and you'll learn a bit about the times.
Attended Pioneer Days while visiting Fredericksburg. Staff were very nice. Restored homes and shops were great to walk through. Authentic decor and audio explanations. The reenacting was fun to with.
Monday, March 11, 2024 my wife and I had a wonderful time at the Pioneer Museum. These people in this museum were very nice and willing to explain the history of the United States of America from the 1800's . They would explain and show how things were done in that era. I recommend it.
This place has a senior and military discount. Even without the discount it is 12 dollars per. They play a 12 minutes video every 15 minutes or so in one of the building. They have all different buildings you can go look into. It was a great time for me and was worth every single minutes. I don't want to spoil(?) too much of it but all I'll say is it was educational and fun! I'm not really a big museum guy but this one was pretty good and I definitely had a good time.
