Last chance to tour
the Painted Churches! Revised tour sign-up deadline of March
9!
In an effort to fit
the schedules and budgets of more conference attendees, we have revised the
Painted Churches tour to be shorter--8:30-2:30 on Wednesday, April 6-- and less
expensive--$75. The tour will visit the churches only, and Winedale will
no longer be included. Country roads and wildflowers are still
included.
For those of you
unfamiliar with these churches, they were built in the countryside, roughly
90 miles west of Houston, by German and Czech settlers in the late
19th and early 20th centuries, and the churches we will be visiting are
listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Their interiors were
painted by artists decorated the vaulted ceilings and structural
members with garlands and foliage forms against pastel backgrounds.
The interiors evoke some of the lightness and delight of German rococo
pilgrimage churches, and the exteriors are quite striking in their settings,
with single tall steeples standing isolated among rolling fields and
pastures. We will pick up our guide in Schulenburg and tour the
churches at Praha, High Hill, and Ammansville.
Three more people
are needed to make the minimum for the tour. Email Susan Rawlyk by March 9
if you want to visit the Painted Churches. ([log in to unmask])
