Heritage Village & Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture

Heritage Village & Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture The MTxHF in New Braunfels is dedicated to showcasing the superb woodworking craftsmanship of European immigrants to central Texas in the mid 19th century.
(1)

Located on a beautifully wooded 11 acres in historic New Braunfels, the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture houses a stunning collection of structural and domestic artifacts from some of the first European migrants who settled in the heart of the lone star state. The museum is especially lucky to possess a great many locally crafted pieces from New Braunfels' own historic German immigrant community

, including several exquisite creations of locally famous Tischlermeisters (master carpenters) Heinrich Scholl jr. and Johann Michael Jahn that were handcrafted in the traditional mid 19th century Biedermeier style.

The Bruestedt/Dillen house is the home of The Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture. This room was originally an open porch off the back door leading to the limestone kitchen. The Dillen’s enclosed it for added living space. They used the original limestone from the original root cellar to build the fireplace itself.
