Kreische Brewery, La Grange
This Saturday! May 20
Celebrate the history of the Bluff Schuetzenverein, a German marksmanship and social organization which once made its home on the grounds of Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill state historic sites in La Grange. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Bluff Schuetzenverein hosted dances, concerts, picnics, and shooting competitions that welcomed people from across Texas. On Saturday, May 20, staff and volunteers will commemorate these traditions at their annual Bluff Schuetzenfest, featuring entertainment, community booths, family activities, living history demonstrations, special tours, and the Texas History on Tap beer garden featuring Texas craft breweries.

Saturday, June 3
Have you ever wanted to photograph the night sky, but weren't sure where to go to avoid the light pollution of the city? Fort McKavett State Historic Site is one of the naturally darkest places in Texas, and its night sky is a treasure trove of celestial wonders. The well-preserved historic frontier Army fort provides a beautiful setting with historic buildings and picturesque ruins that provide uncommonly attractive foreground subjects with the wonders of the night sky above. This incredible opportunity is only offered quarterly, once each season of the year. This is for professional and amateur photographers alike. Families are always welcome, too.
