The Brenham House

Welcome to our home. The Brenham House was built in the 1920’s on the foundation of what was the first German Lutheran Church of Brenham. Unfortunately, the church was destroyed during the great storm of the 1900’s, leaving the sturdy lime stone steps behind – steps that continue to greet visitors today.

Music at The Brenham House


What a wonderful                                                 evening!  

Our guests who perform for variety of venues gave us a wonderful concert!  Mandolin, harmonica and dulcimers filled the house with such a soft sweet music.  It was an awesome experience.
