Wimberley Square: Fun Facts & Cool Features

First established in 1900 as a community gathering space, the square offered plenty of places to tie up your horse while exploring the area. With about 140 people, Wimberley offered everything a small town could offer: schools, a church, and a town hall.

Fast-forward to today, and there's still a sense of yesteryear when walking through town. In fact, the oldest building on the square is the John Henry Saunders Homestead, which was built in the 1870s.

Whether you're a history buff or prefer to explore the surrounding area, Wimberley has plenty to enjoy. Spend a day kayaking and hiking along the White River. Or have dinner and ice cream at the Square.

For a great night under the stars, visit Chill's on the Creek. You can get some food or just have a few drinks. And while you relax, enjoy the flow of Cypress Creek right in front of you. It's quite fascinating how beautiful nature can be!
