Another reason to visit the area is to listen to the Country Hits at Luckenbach, Texas. This community is just 13 miles outside of Fredericksburg has a 3-person population and only 2 buildings left standing–a post office/saloon/general store and a dance hall–but it is a legendary home of country music. Luckenbach, the music venue, was established in the mid-1800s by one of the first German settlers to arrive in this part of Texas and exploded to national fame over a century later after country legends Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson released a song titled, Luckenbach, Texas. In the 1990s, Luckenbach again surged onto the country music scene as it explored and popularized new niches of the genre. Today, the town still hosts live music events almost every evening, and visitors are encouraged to join in on the fun.
