Journey with us and explore the heritage of Lee County and the tiny hamlet of Serbin just south of Giddings. Enjoy a guided tour of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, one of Texas's painted churches, followed by a tour of the Wendish Historical Museum. Peruse the stories, customs, costumes and artifacts that make up the history of the Wends from eastern Germany. Finish your visit with a hot Wendish lunch of sausage, sauerkraut, noodles, beets, dill pickles, fresh bread, tea or coffee, and a fruit dessert. 

After lunch, we'll take a short driving tour through Lee County history. Stops include a photo op at the Lee County Courthouse, the Schubert-Fletcher House, and the 1876 First Presbyterian Church. Tales of outlaws, gunslingers, and cup of Blue Bell Ice Cream will wrap up our day. 

Ticket includes transportation, tours, lunch and ice cream. Maximum tickets: 36
