Albert, originally Martinsburg, is a ghost town located 16 miles (25.7 km) southeast of Fredericksburg and one mile (1.6 km) west of the Blanco County line in southeastern Gillespie County, Texas, United States.[3] The town was a stop on the Fredericksburg-Blanco stage route[3] and in 1967 became a stop on the President's Ranch Trail.[4]
In late October 2007, the town was put up for sale on the auction website eBay.[5]
