Welcome to Lockaway Storage and Boerne, Texas Boerne is a small city with a population of 19,000 and the county seat of Kendall County, Texas. Here, we have a typical Texas climate where the temperatures are typically as high as the 90s in the summer and the 60s in winter. Lockaway Storage has three facilities here. The first is at 29620 Interstate 10 West, the second at 39275 IH-10 West, and the third at 1730 River Rd. As Boerne is a small city, that gives you plenty of options if you’re looking for a place to store your off-season wardrobe, sports equipment, business inventory, or if you’re looking for a place to help stage your move. If you like the convenience of drive-up storage, we definitely have you covered. However, since the weather can get pretty humid here during the summer, we also provide units with climate control. In these, we keep the temperature between about 50 and 80 degrees and the humidity between 30% and 50%, excellent conditions to keep most of your stuff in great condition, long term. The town was founded in 1849 as “Tusculum,” but in 1852 the German founders changed the name in honor of German author Ludwig Börne. The settlers were all about liberal ideals. Called the Forty-Eighters, most were abolitionists, believed in basic human rights for all, and conversed in Latin. So, this city has a unique and interesting history. Getting to Boerne People from out of state often get here by flying into San Antonio International Airport, which is a 33-minute drive from Boerne. However, downtown is just 15 minutes from Boerne Stage Field, our local airport. Museums In fact, you may want to learn more about Boerne by visiting some of the local museums, including the Agricultural Museum and Arts Center , the Children’s museum known as The DoSeum , Gallery 195 of Boerne , and the Old Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and Jail . The Agricultural Museum and Art Center is located on five acres in Boerne park. It has classes, often seasonal, bluegrass jams, and of course exhibits of farm equipment from decades past. The DoSeum won the USA Today award for best Children’s museum in the nation, which is really saying something, as there are so many excellent Chilren’s museums in the United States. This site features learning STEM subjects, art, and literacy through play. Gallery 195 (often stylized Gallery One9Five) bills itself as “Texas Hill Country’s premier fine art gallery in the heart of Boerne.” You’ll find paintings celebrating the city’s history, events, and much more. Plus, much of the art is available for purchase, and you can peruse it on the gallery’s website. Historic jails can be fun to visit, and the Old Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and Jail is no exception. Admission is just $5.00, and free for children under 10, veterans, and law enforcement. It dates back to 1887. There, you can learn about law enforcement in the late 19th century. Exhibit titles include Booking/Evidence room, Texas Rangers - Battle of Walkers Creek, Western Trail, Kendall County Caves Moonshine, and much more.
