On March 26th 2014 we stopped at Luling, Tx. where we stayed at the RIverbend RV park and Campground. 1881 S State Highway 80. Very friendly Passport America park.
This was a friendly town that housed the Central Texas Oil Patch Museum. The museum was founded in 1990. It is filled with the finest oil memorablia and tells the ongoing story of oil from beginning to now.
Also very interesting was the Zedler Mill Pavilion. This offers a rustic view of 19th century life. With many historic firsts to its credit, the mill was a small enterprise started in 1874 as a water wheel operated grist mill. It was bought by German immigrant Fritz Zedler who added a feed mill, a cotton gin, a corn shelter, a public water supply system, a blacksmith shop, and an electrical generating plant.
The restored feed mill and cotton gin museum show the intricacy and efficiency of the early industrial revolution.
Great way to spend the afternoon.
