Schulenburg, Texas

About 100 years ago German and Czech immigrants founded towns in
Central Texas.  They established at least 20 churches in the state.



They are called the Painted Churches.  







Church was built in the farmlands outside of town.


 Historical homes and downtown  buildings.



 Old wringer washing machine maybe used by your grandparents.


Back at the campground lone duck had the pond to himself.
