Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Site
Historic Site · La Grange, Texas
A bluff two hundred feet above the Colorado at La Grange holding two unrelated things — a tomb containing the remains of Texans killed in the Dawson Massacre and the Black Bean Death Lottery of 1843, and the ruins of one of the first commercial breweries in Texas, built by a German stonemason who bought the hill because he liked the view.

⚠ HOURS AND ADMISSION ARE NOT STATED HERE — I could not verify them. Check thc.texas.gov before travelling. ⚠ THE GROUNDS, TOMB AND BLUFF OVERLOOK ARE TYPICALLY MORE FREELY ACCESSIBLE THAN THE BUILDINGS: the Kreische Brewery ruins and house are generally seen on a GUIDED TOUR RUNNING ON A LIMITED SCHEDULE, often weekends only. Confirm before travelling, or you will get the view and locked doors. Five minutes off the Houston-Austin road.
