Fire on the Square: Wimberley Landmark Burned in 1965
An excerpt from Wimberley A Way of Life recounts the September 1965 blaze that destroyed the Harris mohair and wool store on the square. Firefighters, witnesses, and residents recall the near disaster, the heat, and the impact on Artie Montague’s shop, prompting the community to form the Wimberley Restoration Association in 1966 to preserve the town’s character.
