Pioneer Town-Wimberley


Raymond L. Czichos had a house on about 6 acres and people wanted to rent the rooms so he moved his family into the work house . He built the first 4 cabins in 1946. As he got the money he re-invested it in more cabins and land, eventually accruing 160 acres total. Pioneer town was built from 1946-1958. The cafe was the first part of the "town". Wimberley was 1.5 miles away and had only one little restaurant which closed at five. His guests wanted a place to eat and socialize so he put in the cafe and had his daughters do skits and sell ice cream and trinkets. The ice cream parlor went in next and after that the opera house.
The 1700's replica steam train, horseback riding, diving board and slide, and fort were shut down due to insurance costs in the last 1990's. According to
manta.com the business has an estimated annual sales of $220,000. I didn't find any site offering 7A Resort for sale.
