It was a pleasure to talk with Bekah McNeel about our community's history. Kerr County has always exhibited strength and grit, and this past year has reinforced our community's ability to come together to support each other.

“We're open for business, and we're still healing,” says Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr.

Keeping exhibit casework clean and smudge free is a chore but it's a priority so that our artifacts shine. Come check out our community's stories and unique artifacts, like a late 1800s whiskey jug from Kerrville's Depot Saloon, a popular spot located near Kerrville's original railway station that offered local ranchers and cowboys the option of taking their whiskey “to go.”

The Heritage Center is open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm. Admission is $7/adults, $6/seniors 65+, $5/children 9-17, FREE for children 8 and under.
