Hill Country Museum
Our museum is housed in the Captain Charles Schreiner home, which was built in 1879. Captain Schreiner moved from his Turtle Creek Ranch to a lumber house on the site of The Hill Country Museum in 1869. In 1879, Hermann Stiller built the south portion of the house, with the remainder of the home and the decorative rock work being completed in 1896.
The home was designed by Austin, Texas architect Alfred Giles, and is built of native stone. Expert masons and stone carvers were brought from Germany to create the intricate design work that is featured on the exterior of the house.
