Lukenbach Texas 03/07/2009

Its population increased to a high of 492 in 1904, but by the 1960s, Luckenbach was almost a ghost town.
An ad in the paper offering "town — pop. 3 — for sale" led Hondo Crouch, rancher and Texas folklorist, to buy Luckenbach for $30,000 in 1970, in partnership with Kathy Morgan and actor Guich Koock. Luckenbach is nine miles (14 km) from Fredericksburg. Hondo used the town's rights as a municipality to govern the dance hall as he saw fit.
