Kendall cave now a national landmark
National honors have been bestowed upon The Cave Without A Name, an underground attraction that’s off the beaten path – but been a favorite for 70 years – in Kendall County.
The National Parks Service today announced that the cave owned by Houston business man Tom Summers is among four sites added to the list of National Natural Landmarks – bringing the total number of listed sites to 586 under the program begun in 1962.
“I don’t know if it will change the business much, but it’s nice to have the recognition,” said Mike Burrell, manager of the cave off Kreutzberg Road, northeast of Boerne, which attracts about 11,000 visitors annually. “Its not like we’re going to become a national park or anything.”
