Selah Bamberger Ranch Preserve

This ranch is a 5,500-acre preserve in Blanco County, near Johnson City, TX. J. David Bamberger, the founder of Church's Chicken, began this ranch with the purchase of a raped piece of land in 1969. He then began the slow process of restoration to its original condition. We attended 2019 Family Day for the 50th-anniversary celebration while Mom and Bob were visiting.
