Lindheimer House

This is the home of  Ferdinand Jakob Lindheimer who classified much of the Texas flora, including a milkweed, a loco weed, a mimosa, and a rock daisy. He is known as the Father of Texas Botany, with over 20 species and one genus bearing his name. In 1845, at the invitation of Carl PrinceSolm-Braunfels, Lindheimer settled on 2 1/2 acres on the Comal River in Texas. All students of Texas history will enjoy a visit to this small house built in 1852 as it still contains many of the original furnishings. This half-timbered house is one of the oldest remaining structures in New Braunfels. The house is now operated as a museum by the New Braunfels Conservation Society.
