Museum of Western Art
The attraction of Kerrville’s Museum of Western Art lies as much in its outside walls as in the artwork found inside. The structure’s heavy timbers and rugged retaining walls of stacked limestone, created to resemble a fortressed hacienda, is the work of Texas architect O’Neil Ford. The handsome building design, destined to join the status of many of the works hanging on the walls as “classics”, combines a traditional Southwestern style with a modernization of Hill Country vernacular.
Cailloux Theater
The Kathleen C. Cailloux City Center for the Performing Arts in beautiful downtown Kerrville, TX includes the 800 seat Cailloux Theater, the intimate VK Garage Theater black box, and the Kit Werlein Annex support facility.

Schreiner Mansion
Charles Schreiner served in the Texas Rangers from 1854 – 1857. During this time he also purchased ranch property in Kerr County and married Mary Magdalena Enderle. After serving in the Confederate Army for 3 1/2 years during the Civil War, Captain Schreiner rejoined his family in Texas in 1865. Just a few years later he started the mercantile business that would culminate in one of the largest mercantile-banking empires of its time in the Southwest. Wealth encouraged philanthropy, and in 1917 Schreiner founded the Schreiner Institute, now Schreiner University.
