Carmine was founded on December 24, 1883, by Benjamin J. Thigpen, a highly regarded physician. He purchased 46 acres of land for $230 and plotted the townsite as “Sylvan,” but subsequently changed the name to Carmean, after one of the original highly-respected settlers of the area, Newton Carmean. The spelling of the town was changed to Carmine on June 15, 1892, to eliminate confusion for the postal service with the town of Cameron. The railroad opened a small station in the new town of Carmine where farmers could ship their products to market.
By 1900, Carmine had four general stores, four saloons, two blacksmith shops, a new paper named the New Century, several churches, and ten other businesses.
The Carmine State Bank opened in 1907 and the town received an economic boost that has helped the city throughout the years. With the bank opening, other industry followed, boosting Carmine’s population growth to approximately 500 in the early 1900s.
The main economics of yesteryear were cotton, potatoes, chickens, eggs and cattle. Today, the chief source of Carmine’s economy is antique stores, tourism, ranching and the beautiful, historical countryside surrounding the city.
Visitors will want to stop in at the Carmine Chamver of Commerce Museum and Visitor’s Center, 248 East Sylvan Street in Carmine, and learn all about the history of the area. Call 979-277-4613 to schedule a tour.

Martin Luther Lutheran Church of Carmine opened her doors welcoming Pastor David Tinker a little over eight and a half years ago. He would join a long line of pastors dating back to 1902 when the congregation was originally founded. Having served over 26 years as a Lutheran pastor, Tinker brings a love of Christ and community to the parish.
“I’m here to help people know Jesus and have their lives be better through Jesus,” said Tinker. “People fulfilling their life purpose through God and telling people they are loved by God. I want to encourage people to love God, love their neighbor and know God’s message to them.”
Martin Luther Lutheran Church is located at 211 Luther Lane in Carmine and online at mllccarmine.com. Services are every Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m. Waldeck Evangelical Lutheran Church is located at 6915 Waldeck in Ledbetter and their services are held every Sunday at 8 a.m. Guests are always welcome at both parishes.
Carmine Visitor Center & Museum is located at 248 Sylvan Street. The building housing the museum was the actual Southern Pacific Railroad Depot building for the City of Carmine. Through the generous donation of the land by Mrs. Gladys J. Krause and the building by Mr. & Mrs. Wayne Wagner, the depot, which had been moved out of the city of Carmine was returned to the city and restored to become the city’s historical museum.

Dance halls are where generations of Texans have joined their partners in a lively two-step, polka or waltz while enjoying some of the best music in the Lone Star State. At a dance hall, you can fall in love, teach your children or grandchildren to dance, catch up with old friends, and create the social ties that bind us all together.
German and Czech immigrants built a number of dance halls throughout Texas in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, primarily as community centers. Sadly, many have been neglected and fallen into disrepair. Fortunately for the Carmine Dance Hall, also known as the Cedar Creek SchutzenVerein, there’s a group of dedicated people working hard to restore her to her former glory for all to enjoy once again.
“This hall is the heartbeat of our community and we want to get back to the way it was when it was when it was originally built,” said Tom Drummond, a member of the hall’s restoration group. “I’m ready to concentrate on getting things done. Everyone is welcome to join us in our efforts to restore Carmine Dance Hall.”
Carmine Dance Hall is located at 300 North Hauptsrasse Street in Carmine. You can call 979-203-3408 for more information.
Clockwise from top, left to right, Carmine City Park is proudly located at the center of town; Carmine Dance Hall hosts popular events, like the chamber’s Casino Night, and is available for event rental; Carmine Visitors Center and Museum is located in a train depot and houses thousands of mementos from a bygone era.
CARMINE’S ANTIQUE TREASURES
by Liliana Hinojosa
ANTIQUE SHOPPING IN CARMINE
Antiques - a passion for some, a business for others, and Carmine has plenty of shops to choose from. During my visit there, I went into a few shops and was delighted (and slightly overwhelmed) by the shelves upon shelves of antiques that filled the walls of each store. Fine china, ornate chairs, colorful paintings, metal road signs, marquees - there is something for every taste.
My first stop was a beautiful teal building with pink doors: McCall Style where the co-owner graciously let me take photos of her store as she gave me a quick run down of the place. She runs the shop with her daughter and sells both antiques and succulents and claims to sell plants that “can grow anywhere and are impossible to kill.”
A small replica of the shop sits proudly by the registers and antiques are carefully arranged in aesthetically pleasing groups, adding to the welcoming and homey feelings that the store seems to be radiating.
When I asked her for her favorite item in the store, she quickly pointed to “those little kissing ones,” a pair of two kids leaning in for a sweet kiss that is sure to bring a smile to any face. I then made my way across Highway 290 to Unique Antiques and stepped inside to an equally impressive store.
Owner Deanna Mesecke welcomed me into her shop, where she pulled out one of her most precious vases to be photographed with. She encouraged me to let our readers know that her antique store is for sale as she is ready to retire.
Unique Antiques is large for an antique shop. There are several beautiful displays throughout each room and it has everything from tiny, intricate glass figurines to dining room sets, dressers and lounge chairs ... and even a gun room.
“ As you make your way through Texas, don’t forget to stop in Carmine for some amazing antiques.
As I continued to other shops, one thing was evident - Carmine has an eye for antiques! The items in these stores are worthy of being brought home and you can tell that they have been carefully selected by the owners. They vary in colors, sizes, themes and occasions - there is truly something for everyone.
I kept telling myself “that would look great in my apartment!” or “wow, I haven’t seen one of these in forever!” while memories of a simpler time flooded my brain as I took in all of the antiques.

Meet Diana Wunderlich
LOCAL HISTORIAN AND CARMINE NATIVE TAKES VISITORS ON A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME
Diana Wunderlich, local historian and Carmine native, gave me a special look inside of this quaint Texas town.
Growing up, her dad was a pharmacist so they lived on the same street as the pharmacy. Her mother worked alongside dad and became one of the first women in town that was employed outside of the home.
The family did not take vacations - they worked every week.
“There wasn’t anybody to take your place,” she said. “If you’re running mercantile or a fueling station, you had to be there. There wasn’t anybody else.”
In the afternoons, Diana ran the streets with other neighborhood kids without a care in the world.
“We had no rules and regulations as long as we came home for supper,” she laughed. “There was no danger involved. Things have so changed there.”
Diana went to a small school - so small that there were only 18 seniors in her graduating class. Of those 18, 13 went on to pursue college degrees and have been very successful in life. During their reunion in April they talked about the fact that everybody in the community knew how to work.
“You didn’t have to know so much or have
so many skills about whatever job you took but you had to be able to be dedicated to that work,” she said. “Kids from here would go to Houston and Austin to find jobs and would always find them because of their work ethic.”
Now known as the local historian, Diana Wunderlich is the go-to girl for all things Carmine.

“When people have questions about who lives where, or where that was, I’m the one that answers the questions because I’m the only one that knows,” she said. “It’s quite a privilege to have that information. We know that there’s no way of bringing back, nor do we want to bring back, a lot of those old ways and old things, but I think we need and we have an obligation to pass those on to our children and grandchildren.”
Not wanting to keep that information from others, Diana, along with some friends, started a Historical Committee that meets quarterly to discuss certain features of the old days compared to new life in town. The group enjoys sharing information and reminiscing about the past.
“If we don’t share this at this time, it’s gonna be lost,” she said. “So much is already lost because we didn’t see the importance of sharing information.”
As our interview continued, Ms. Wunderlich began pointing out the displays that surrounded us inside the Carmine Chamber of Commerce Museum and Visitors’ Center. The walls are filled with carefully curated displays that are arranged in what made the most sense to Ms. Wunderlich - according to how the town was founded.
“The railroad came through in 1871 and then after that the settlement came,” she
said, pointing behind me toward the first display on the railroad. It then continues onto early history, family life, and progresses to domestic affairs, ranching and cattle raising and more.
There is even a display from the basketball museum that she recently acquired. She pulled out some of her favorite items from the displays and a map of Carmine from when it was first settled, remembering businesses that are no longer operating and roads that have gotten lost over the years.
“The town was founded in the 1880s so at that time, ten years did not change much. But when you get to 1950 up to the centennial, things change very rapidly,” Diana said.
When asked what the biggest change she has seen in her 82 years of Carmine, she said that it would have to be the change in background of people. The founder of Carmine was from Switzerland, but the settlers that came in were primarily German and so the town remained primarily German for a long time.
“Now we have an influx of all different types of people,” she said. “So many of our residents now have fled the city and are trying to come to a small town because of safety and the pleasant surroundings, quietness. We are adapting and learning about a lot of different cultures.”
During the last antique show in the spring, she met a couple coming in from Minnesota who shared with her the treatment they had received in Carmine.
“Everybody is so friendly here. Everybody wants to help you, everybody waves at you!” Diana said they told her. “It’s kind of strange, but I would say the friendly nature of the people is what sets Carmine apart. The friendliness and the hospitality.”
Diana knows all about hospitality. Before her retirement, she ran a B&B for 22 years where she met so many kind people. Nowadays she stays busy tending to her garden, looking after the cattle on the farm, taking care of property or simply hosting the family.
“It’s a more relaxed atmosphere when you don’t have to get up at a certain time in the morning,” Diana said. “I thank God that I am still able to use my mind and the discussions that we have in our historical group because so many people my age are suffering from a mental disability.”
To learn more about Carmine and submerge yourself in a simpler time, head on down to the Carmine Chamber of Commerce Museum and Visitors’ Center located at 248 Sylvan Street in downtown Carmine.
Left, grocery stores and businesses around Carmine used to give out tokens like these instead of change to their customers - ensuring that they would return to spend it at their establishment.

La Bahia Turn Verein Hall
Between Carmine and Burton and off of State Highway 237, a sign with the words “La. Ba. Hia. Turn Verein Hall” welcomes wedding guests, old high school pals, fundraisers, and dancers from all over Texas into La Bahia Turn Verein Hall.
This community public dance hall was built in the early 1900s for public gatherings and has seen its fair share of additions and modifications as the demand for the hall grew stronger and the sizes of the parties grew larger. It sits beautifully underneath sprawling oak trees and is a great place to host any big event.
Carol Schmidt, who oversees the bookings for the hall, has been a member for over 30 years and has worked for them for over 23. She enjoys interacting with Texans from all over the state that the hall draws in and is familiar with its history.
“The first two (halls) burned in the late 1800s and then in 1903, this one was erected,” Carol said. “It was added on so what you see today is not the building of 1903, it was just the rectangular building.”
“Then as the years went on, like in the 50s, the stage was added, the kitchen was added, and then the sides,” Carol continued.
When I asked her if the name had a significant meaning, she said “Oh, yes!”
“La bahia means the bay in Spanish,” she began.
“In 1845 when the Mexican soldiers took the trail and they were traveling by horse to Gonzales, Texas, they would stop there and water their horses. There was a big pond of water and so to them, they felt that that was a bay.”
“Turnverein is German and it means exercise club,” she continued. “You find a lot of that in Fayette County and even in Europe.”
“Only men were members and they had to do fifteen

pullups for them to be a member. There was no money involved,” she laughed.
“I book the hall for events,” she said. “We do weddings, fundraisers, reunions, birthday parties, graduations. Most our business is from Brenham, I’ve gotten people from Dallas, Houston, Giddings,” Carol told me.
“Our busiest time of year is between October through April due to wedding season and fundraisers,” she said. “In fact, the Brenham Heritage Society just stayed with us and a group of square dancers will be with us next April!”
Turnverein Hall has come a long way since its start in the early 1900s, when indoor air conditioning was unheard of. Now it hosts a variety of different people and events and stays busy year round.
The visitors also help bring business to neighboring communities like Carmine and Burton as most guests stay overnight in these towns and take advantage of the dozens of antique shops and restaurants throughout 237.
“It’s not all parties and weddings,” Carol reassured me.
La Bahia Turn Verein Hall is located at 550 Highway 237, Burton.
