Inside the Boerne courtroom - still in use today, in the old part of the courthouse, built in 1870.
The Boerne courthouse, front part added on to the old back in 1909.
Architects: 1870: Phillip Zoeller & S. F. Stendebalk
1910 facade: Alfred Giles
Boerne is a tourist town, but not obnoxiously so! Ye Kendall Inn is a nice place to stay, in the heart of downtown. We had kolaches from Little Gretel, which were terrific. Boerne also has a brewpub: the Dodging Duck, which has good beers and a good American menu.
Bandera courthouse, 1890, unfortunately nothing special inside.
Architect: B. F. Trester
Bandera is a cool town, with several dancehalls, good restaurants, and great camping, hiking, and mountain biking nearby at Hill Country State Natural Area.
Old Bandera jail and courthouse, 1868. Interestingly, the "courthouse" wasn't actually built to be a courthouse - the only one of its kind we've seen yet.
Kerrville courthouse, 1926.
Architect: Adams & Adams
We stayed at the YO Ranch Hotel here for the Kerrville Folk Festival, months after this visit, and had a great weekend! The YO is really nice and of course, the Folk Festival is world-renowned. We had dinner an unremarkable dinner at Billy Gene's.
