The Good Life in Kerrville, TX - HCPLive
First came the pioneers, then the cattle men, then the money men. And in Kerrville the local banker was the German immigrant and former Texas Ranger, Charles Schreiner. Money men, investors, and philanthropists have helped build many institutions in Texas from splendid golf residential areas like Kerrville’s Comanche Trace to museums like the Museum of Western Art. The recession continues in some parts of Texas but Kerrville is going upscale and many of the aircraft around its small airport are corporate jets. Kerrville strikes us as the least touristy of all the Texas Hill County towns. We asked a guide in our last town, Fredericksburg, what she could tell us about our next stop, Kerrville, and she got wistful and said, “It has its river…” Indeed the Guadalupe River runs through town and is a huge asset for those living here... The new City Hall opened in 2012 in the downtown location that for many years was occupied by the Peterson Memorial Hospital, and the new building’s connection to the former hospital high-rise parking is now a great asset to the public.
