The Heritage Society of New Braunfels exists to preserve, promote, and interpret, for the public, the 19th century heritage of New Braunfels, Comal County and Texas through the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture and Heritage Village. Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture sits on a beautifully wooded 11 acres in historic New Braunfels. It 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 fortunate 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.
