BOERNE Hill Country Mile Despite its close proximity to San Antonio, Boerne has managed to retain its Old World charm and has remained one of the most popular Texas Hill Country destinations. In fact, Boerne has routinely been lauded in regional and national media as being a top destination to visit, raise a family, or retire. And there’s good reason for it. Not only is Boerne blessed with natural beauty and lush, scenic hills that provide a perfect backdrop, but they are also progressive and future-minded while keeping a keen eye on their storied and proud past.

In 1852, Gustav Theissen and John James laid out the town’s site and changed the name to “Boerneâ€? in honor of Karl Ludwig Borne, a German author and publicist who inspired many young Germans to leave their homeland and travel to the new world. Soon, the town would boast a gristmill, SRVW RIĂ€FH EODFNVPLWK VKRS OLYHU\ VWDEOH butcher shop, saloon, general store and a private school. The town was chosen as the county seat in 1859, and in 1870 the limestone courthouse was built and today remains the second oldest courthouse in Texas in continuous use. There are more than 140 other historical buildings around town, and recently some of Boerne’s treasured jewels have been painstakingly restored to their architectural pasts including the Joseph Dienger Building (1890), which today serves as the home of the newly opened Dienger Trading Co. and Philip Manor Square (1866), which began as a private residence and later became the home of the early Boerne shooting club, as well as a hotel and polo club and has now been gorgeously restored to The Legendary Texas Polo Club at Philip Manor 8 | VisitBoerne.org

Additionally, the Carstanjen-Hall Mansion (1876), which was a private home as well as a variety of restaurants over the years, was recently purchased and completely restored back to its original glory and will soon open as a retail venue. A walking map of Boerne’s historic buildings was detailed by the Boerne Area Historical Preservation Society and is available at VisitBoerne.org or at the Boerne Visitors Center (1407 S. Main). Aside from the architecture, perhaps Boerne’s most treasured history is a rare, illustrated folio-edition 1614 Low German Bible. One of only six known bibles of Martin Luther’s High German translation, this treasure is on display at the Patrick Heath Public Library. Boerne’s rich and storied past and its resident’s commitment to keeping the heritage alive for future generations have made the city a popular place for both tourists and residents.

Puresól Salt Cave has its roots in Poland, home to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, where 1 million international visitors annually seek treatment in the mine’s rehabilitation rooms for treatment of respiratory, cardiovascular and stress-related illnesses. The climate is rich in negative ions, minerals and microelementary particles that are naturally absorbed into the lungs as you breathe in the ion-drenched air.

CAVE WITHOUT A NAME Cave Without A Name is often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the most beautiful caves in Texasâ&#x20AC;? because of the breathtaking world full of natural formations that await visitors as they reach the interior of the cavern.

It is the least commercialized cave open to the public in Texas and it is a well-preserved, natural area that draws serious cavers,

geologists, paleontologists, and cave enthusiasts who volunteer time and effort to continue working on the preservation of the cave. The Cave got its unique moniker from a local newspaper contest held in 1940 to name the cave. After touring the cave, a local student said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cave is too pretty to have a name,â&#x20AC;? and he won the contest. Tours run an hour; ½ mile round trip. Many family activities to keep you busy for hours; shaded pavilion, camping area.

COMMUNITY Cibolo Nature Center Boerne isn’t just a great place to visit-- it is also a great place to live and raise a family, or to retire. But don’t just take our word for it: Family Circle Magazine named Boerne as one of the “Ten Best Towns for Families” in their August 2014 edition. Reasons that were cited for our selection include the affordable housing options, the strong sense of community, and the

exemplary school system. Many residents choose to live here even if they work in nearby San Antonio. You will have the small-town camaraderie and clean, open air and congestion-free streets, yet still live close to one of the largest cities in Texas. Come visit us-- and then come back and stay.

We have an exceptional team of Realtors ready to find your Texas Hill Country dream ! Please visit us at 222 S Main Street in downtown Boerne or online.
