New at the Museum

​Fuchs Historical Marker Display Now Complete

The Museum is proud to announce the completion of the Conrad Fuchs State Historical Marker and interpretive plaque on our museum grounds. Originally placed at the historic Fuchs House in Horseshoe Bay, the marker was relocated to the museum after the home was tragically lost in a fire in February 2024. Stones recovered from the Fuchs House were rescued and installed at the base of the marker, creating a lasting tribute to the historic home and the family who built it.
The display now stands beside the original well cover from the Fuchs home and near the Tiger Mill gristmill stone—bringing together important pieces of our community’s early history in one meaningful location.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Texas Hill Country Trail Region for funding this project, the City of Horseshoe Bay for donating the recovered stones, and Precinct 4 Commissioner Joe Don Dockery and his crew for their skilled work setting the marker and gristmill stone.
Come by the museum to see this new addition honoring the legacy of the Fuchs family and the early settlers who helped shape our region’s history.

Many thanks to Precinct 4 Commissioner Joe Don Dockery and crew for setting the marker and stones.
