An Unexpected Slice of History
Last summer when my neighbor returned from a bus tour, I asked her if she enjoyed it. “Yes,” she said. “It was all about the Wends long ago. Their museum is fabulous. I never knew about the Serbs.” Neither did I, but she explained about the Serbian area near Giddings, Texas. The Wends go by several different names, but they came from Germany and Serbia in the 1850s.
I looked for more information. I found the museum wasn’t far from where we were to pick up our grandson from summer camp, close to Serbin. He loves to travel, so we located him and his heavy bag of wet items and drove to see the location.
We were stunned that the museum is a series of rooms, all decorated with beautiful antiques. We didn’t get to see the church as we were hungry and needed to return the grandson to his home in Houston. We didn’t stay long enough, as we never saw inside the Lutheran Church which you now can see in the photo. Don’t miss it.
Research was necessary to write this article. I had help from several people, which included staff from the organization that takes care of the grounds and plans events.
I’m grateful for the assistance from all who contributed to this story.
