Heritage Farms Bed and Breakfast, near Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country
Description
Heritage Farms is proud to offer a part of our heritage for you to experience and remember. We have restored, refurbished, and refinished a part of Texas Hill Country history. We’ve also witnessed the loss that comes as generations divide the property and no longer work the land. Family heirlooms, tools, homes, land, and memories are lost or sold. Skills that were once needed are lost and no longer passed down. Heritage Farms is proud to have preserved as much of this heritage and history as we have, and we are happy to share with you what we have been blessed with. Our goals are that your stay with us will leave you blessed. Our prayers are that you will cherish your stay at Heritage Farms, and that we might become a part of your heritage also.
Hye is on Highway 290, 10 miles west of Johnson City, 3 miles east of the Lyndon B. Johnson National and State Historical Parks at Stonewall, and 20 miles east of Fredericksburg. Hiram (“Hye”) G. Brown founded Hye in1880. “Hye” Brown decided the area needed a post office so in January of 1886, he applied to the United States Post Office and on April 17, 1886, the Hye Post Office was established with “Hye” serving as Post Master. (Some of the unique happenings at the Hye Post Office are: President Lyndon B. Johnson, at the age of four, mailed his first letter here. Lawrence O’Brien was sworn into President Johnson’s Cabinet as Post Master General on the steps of the store in October 1965).
“Hye” was born August 4, 1853, in Mississippi; he came to Texas about 1866. “Hye” Brown married Margaret Steen and they had six children. Their fifth child, Edna Pearl, married James “Phillip” Watson and they had two sons, James “Porter” Watson and John “Thomas” Watson. (“Porter” and “Thomas” were both born in “The Homestead” cabin). Porter Watson married Juneth Whitaker on July 3, 1947. They had three children, Linda Lee (Sewell), Bonnie Lue (Jenschke), and James “Patrick”. “Hye” Brown is Patrick’s great-grandfather. Patrick has two children; his daughter, Chantel Rose who lives in Austin, and James “Paul” who currently lives on the property.
