Boerne's Hauptstrasse: A German Main Street Still Standing

Boerne's Hauptstrasse is a working Main Street, not a museum piece — 1870s-to-1900s limestone buildings that a wave of German 'Freethinker' immigrants raised, and that Boerne businesses still occupy today. This walk covers the courthouse, a home turned landmark inn, a pharmacist's house, an unbroken German brass-band tradition, and the store where the town's first postmaster ran everything from the mail to the livery stable — six stops of continuous, still-standing German Hill Country history.
