Unholstering history: Lawman legends, 19th century weaponry comes to town

Unholstering history: Lawman legends, 19th century weaponry comes to town
Fred Dodge, Wells Fargo detective

BOERNE — The Patrick Heath Public Library and the Old Jail Museum are teaming up to bring a taste of the Wild West to town this weekend, for anyone interested in local lawmen legends and 19th century weaponry.

On public exhibit Saturday in the library’s gallery will be a remarkable collection of photos and other items that once belonged to the Kendall County family of Captain Fred Dodge (1854-1938).

Having gone unseen for over 125 years, the exhibit will be of interest to residents of Boerne who may have heard of the Dodge family, and/or known Fred Dodge’s wife, Jessie (1881-1953), or his son, Fred Jr., who lived in Boerne until 1978.
