| Henkel House |
Three of Henkel Square’s structures stand
where the owners built them originally. Most of the other buildings that were moved to Henkel Square, as well as the textiles,
pottery, tools and furniture exhibited in them, came from no further than 15 miles away. Their web site includes photos of the structures as well as a bit of history on each building. Event participants will have full access
to and be able to live in the original, furnished structures located on the site.

| Scherrer House |
As much as we would like this event to be full
immersion, there will be some modern intrusions that cannot be hidden. The site is in the middle of Round Top with full view
of the highway through town, cars and modern houses. There will be some modern noises present such as the sound of cars and
Round Top’s noon whistle from the fire station. There is also a historical marker in front of one of the structures.
Henkel Square staff and visitors will not be in period clothes. However, once the event is in full swing these modern intrusions
should melt into the background and not detract from your enjoyment of the event.

| Schumann II Front Bedroom |
The houses are furnished including tables, chairs, some service settings, beds and bedding. Some of the chairs and
beds are rickety and the bedding is dusty so you may wish to bring your own period chairs and/or bedding. We ask that if you
choose to bring your own furniture and/or bedding that they be period correct. Please be sure any personal items are identified
as your own so as not to mistake them for the site’s collection and visa versa. All individuals living in the structures
will be responsible for returning the structure to the condition it was found including returning any of the collection if
removed and cleaning out the fireplaces or stoves. Please be respectful of any site property you may use and of the historic
nature of the structures.
There is plenty of space within the site and outside
the walls of the “town site” for military camping as required. Some soldiers such as relatives and friends of
the civilians, and officers, may find shelter with some households.
