In 1849; German "Freethinkers" had been dreaming of a communal utopia; free from oppression by church and state. They settled in Texas on the Cibolo Creek; where Native Americans and Spanish explorers had gone before them. The experiment evolved into a frontier outpost; a stage stop; a health spa; a railhead; a small village; a brief chapter in the Civil War; and a farm and ranch community. Boerne is now a tourist destination and a lovely place to live. This collection of pictures and stories explores what has been amazing; unique; and a little odd about this bend in the Cibolo; as well as the history of local conservation efforts. As the little town of Boerne goes through its inevitable growing pains; it is important to remember its special people and places; and what is worth saving.
