Schulenburg (pop. ~3,000) is a charming, walkable small town with strong Czech‑German roots, quirky local museums (like the Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum), popular annual events (Sausagefest and the Schulenburg Festival), cozy bakeries, wineries and parks — all the ingredients that make a multi‑week assignment feel like a relaxed, interesting home rather than a dead zone.
Sitting on I‑10 and Hwy‑77, Schulenburg gives you small‑town calm but easy access to bigger‑city amenities in Victoria (about 65 miles away) when you want more shopping, dining or medical options, so you can enjoy a low‑stress base without feeling isolated.
