Fischer Hall The hall has stood on this very ground since the end of the 19th century. It initially started as a community school. However, the friendly community soon realised that perhaps they didn’t want to be too friendly with their neighbours a little down the road at Cranes Mill, especially during dances. They got themselves a one-eyed carpenter and proceeded to convert this hall into a proper venue where the community could organise their own weddings, dances and parties. While I haven’t heard too much of his music, or seen the movie, Willie Nelson shot parts of the 1980 movie, ‘Honeysuckle Rose’, right here. Sure enough, when we landed a little late that evening, there was a party in full swing. Ordinarily, while I would have loved to gate-crash this party, my friends assured me it might not be the wisest thing to do. . . . Read more on the blog.

Fischer Bowling Club. Fischer Historical District gets its name from Hermann and Otto Fischer, two German immigrant brothers who decided to call this area home. They quickly went about building a self-sufficient community that would rely on agriculture and ranching. They also proceeded to build a few buildings including a general store, a post  office and a few other buildings – enough to satisfy the needs of the community. Like the Fischer Bowling Club. Built immediately after they built Fischer Hall, this is no ordinary bowling alley. Unlike the 10-in lanes that we know of, these lanes allow for nine-pin bowling – something that is unique to Texas Hill County and nowhere else in the US. That’s not all, in this version,  you are expected to either knock off all nine pins or knock them all down barring one solitary red pin. There is also no automation here. If you want to keep score, scribble it down on a chalkboard. And after every strike, the pins are manually set by pinsetters, in this case, teenagers from the community. Did I mention, they have their own teams too – ‘Beer Drinkin’ and ‘Bad Bowlin’ among some of them. . . . Read more on the blog.
