Why this spot
1877-2000s German farm and stage stop hamlet
Albert, first called Martinsburg, was a stop on the Fredericksburg to Blanco stage route with a post office from 1877, a store, a dance hall and a school that a young Lyndon Johnson briefly attended. It had 50 residents in 1925 and 25 for decades after, and was all but abandoned by 2007 when the town was offered for sale on eBay.View source →
