Mailbox


East of Fredericksburg off U.S. 290, five miles south just off F.M. 1376. There it is.

Luckenbach, Texas, spritual home of Willie Nelson and "The Outlaws", and the home of Willie's Annual 4th July bash.

If you are going to go there don't count on signs; souvenir hunters swipe them as fast as they can be placed.

There's not much there really - just a sense of history, and a feeling which is impossible to describe. If you want to see what it looks like follow the links below and you'll see some pictures of the place as it looked in June 1996 - and before that, and before that, and before that -

and after that too!!

They have their own newspaper there "The Luckenbach Moon", and versions of it are available as web pages through the index .
