The tin building housing Fischer's Store is located in the agricultural community of Fischer Store -- founded by German emigrants during the 1880s.  Postal service came to Fischer's Store in 1875 and the mail boxes were moved into the Fischer Store when it was built in 1902.  Unfortunately the postal service was moved next door in 1995 to a unremarkable generic US Post Office.  Today Fischer's Store, after being the post office, bank, and saloon, contains a treasure trove of antiques, including the original mail boxes.  It would be great to time your visit to Fischer when the bowling alley with handset nine-pins is open.  Next door is the dance hall, formerly the school. Several scenes from Willie's movie "Honeysuckle Rose" were filmed here.  A nice stop on the Comal County excursion.
