What to Do in Boerne

Learn More

Boerne's beginnings are evident in its old stone buildings with narrow windows, steep gables, outside stairways and gardens. Members of the idealist German colony of Bettina, students of the classics who founded several “Latin settlements” in Texas, first settled in the area in 1849. The immigrants designed their farm after Cicero's country home, Tusculum, and laid out the town to resemble the communities they had known in Europe.
