DESTINATION

Boerne

Boerne (pronounced “bernie”) was the home of George Wilkins Kendall, one of the founders of the New Orleans Picayune. At the outbreak of the Mexican War in 1846, Kendall organized a system of Pony Express riders and ships to carry stories to his newspaper. So efficient was this method of reporting that the Picayune printed the text of the Treaty of Guadalupe before the U.S. government received a copy. Kendall's ranch, where he spent the last years of his life, encompassed most of what is modern Kendall County.

Situated along Cibolo Creek at 140 City Park Rd., the Cibolo Nature Center offers hiking trails, a boardwalk and a nature center; phone (830) 249-4616.
