Owners

The original owners were Capt. Charles Felix George von Plehwe and his spouse Mina Sophie von Plehwe, who had two children, Pauline and Frederick. George, as he was called, was the nephew of Senior General Bernard von Plehwe of the Prussian Cavalry. George's brother, Otto von Plehwe (a.k.a. Fritz von Plehwe), immigrated in 1868 together with his orderly, the former valet of his father, Joseph Peter Potschernick. [2] Joseph had the fare to return to Germany but elected to remain with the von Plehwe family in the United States.

The buildings on a 100-acre ground are now owned and maintained by George Strait. [3]
