2006 Historic Churches of New Braunfels Tour participants
We met at the Hortontown Church at 8:30 a.m. to begin the tour. The Hortontown Church is located on North Loop 337. Then we went to the First Protestant Church located at Seguin and Coll Streets, and finally we visited the Saints Peter and Paul Church located at the north end of Castell Street. Afterwards we stopped at the Friesenhaus on Castell Street (where Krause?s Caf? was housed) to enjoy a delicious German meal.
