Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill

Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill State Historic Sites preserve two significant pieces of Texas history in one scenic location overlooking the Colorado River. Visitors can explore the ruins of one of Texas’ earliest commercial breweries, built by German stonemason Heinrich Kreische, and visit the nearby Monument Hill tomb remembering the early Texans who died during the Dawson Massacre and Mier Expedition. The site offers guided tours, nature trails, and a rich blend of cultural, architectural, and natural history.
