Pioneer Family

The first twenty-three families of Volga-Germans arrived in Victoria on April 6, 1876, and established the village of Herzog in this area north of this point.  The first religious activities of these settlers centered around the village cross, in the following months and years they were joined by many more Volga-German immigrants.  The community outgrew three church buildings before the present church was completed in 1912.  This statue, a tribute to these pioneers, was dedicated July 23, 1976. ~ text of plaque
