The St. Martin Church Preservation Foundation was established to preserve and maintain The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saint Martin (New Braunfels) in perpetuity.
Founded in 1850/1851, the Church is the oldest Lutheran church building still standing in the State of Texas. Volunteers take care of the historic Church and adjacent old Hortontown Cemetery. Special services and events take place at the Church throughout the year. The property is under the ownership of St. Paul Lutheran Church New Braunfels.
