The Painted Churches

Enjoy a little bit of history tucked away in Schulenburg – deep in the heart of Texas. Czech and German early settlers duplicated as cheaply as possible with stencils and paint the the beauty of their former European churches. They have left us a marvel of art and beauty in their Painted Churches. The Fall itinerary focuses on the annual 10:00am Polka Mass at the High Hill church with a picnic lunch, polka music and bingo. 

DAY 1 – Depart the Rio Grande Valley for a fun filled, historical two day tour as we explore the Heart of Texas, Schulenburg. Lunch included at the Smokehouse in Schulenburg, home of the Painted Churches. After lunch, our local guide will lovingly show us these beautiful churches. Overnight in Schulenburg. L, D

DAY 2 – Today we will visit one of the churches for their religious observation. The churches are quiet small so we may have to leave a little early to find a seat. We will start home around mid day arriving back in the Rio Grande Valley around 6pm. B
