TXKerrville is in the heart of the famed Hill Country an hour's drive nw of San Antonio. A small community of only 20500 people it nonetheless has a lot to offer for travellers. The beauty of the Guadalupe River is the main draw. Canoe kayak tube swim or fish; campsites and B&B's are available adjacent to the river. Also a number of very good restaurants offer river views or outside dining. Try River's Edge Tuscan Grille the Lakehouse Billy Gene's Jazz Kitchen and even Starbucks. Culture ... More
TXKerrville is in the heart of the famed Hill Country an hour's drive nw of San Antonio. A small community of only 20500 people it nonetheless has a lot to offer for travellers. The beauty of the Guadalupe River is the main draw. Canoe kayak tube swim or fish; campsites and B&B's are available adjacent to the river. Also a number of very good restaurants offer river views or outside dining. Try River's Edge Tuscan Grille the Lakehouse Billy Gene's Jazz Kitchen and even Starbucks. Culture is another big draw. Kerrville is very much an artist's and musician's haven. The Kerr Arts and Cultural Center in downtown housed in the former post office is the exhibit center for 15 different arts groups. Local exhibitions as well as regional and national art exhibits on tour are held throughout the year -- note...free admission! One famous event is the Texas Furniture Maker's Show wherein the top furniture makers from across the state display and put on sale their talented creations.Kerr Arts & Cultural Center is just one stop downtown. It's a great walking town although one large Dept. Store and the Hospital recently vacated and set plans are yet to come. Next door to the Cultural Center is the Hill Country Museum housed in an architectural dream of a prominent developer of Kerrville Charles Schreiner. Open Wed-Sat afternoons $5 admission. It gives a great history of the late 1800's. Also downtown is the Sunrise Antique Mall 2 floors of collectibles and then stroll through some of the shops and galleries like Rivers Edge Gallery.Outside of town is the Museum of Western Art an extremely worthy stop dedicated to the preservation of Western Art. A great Children's Gallery allows youngsters to learn about life on a wagon train. Make a stop also at Riverside Nature Center a botanical arboretum dedicated to Hill Country native plantings. Lots of accommodations...too much to tell. Check it out and have fun!
