Marker Text: ​Early hall of higher learning, erected by the German Methodist Mission Conference of Texas and Louisiana (organized 1874 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South). Fredericksburg College at its peak had 250 students-- some from far away as Galveston. Many local boys walked 10 miles daily to obtain education here.
   The college operated only from 1876 to 1884. The hand-cut stone building has been used since by the public school district. (1971)
