Visiting
High Street is the show
Comfort's downtown is one of the best-preserved 19th-century business districts in Texas — block after block of original limestone storefronts now housing antique dealers, galleries, and very good coffee. Pick up the walking-tour map and read the buildings.
The town's German freethinker history is real and moving: the Treue der Union monument honors Union loyalists killed in 1862 — one of the few monuments to the Union anywhere in the former Confederacy.
Round it out with nearby wineries (Comfort anchors the southern end of Hill Country wine touring), then follow the Guadalupe upstream toward Center Point and Kerrville. Events and openings: visitcomforttx.com.
