Wimberley Institute of Cultures/Wimberley Valley Museum

The Wimberley Institute of Cultures (WIC) is a Wimberley nonprofit that fosters interest in the Wimberley Valley's historical, natural and cultural resources through educational and social programs. It grew out of the town's Texas Sesquicentennial celebration and received its state charter as a nonprofit corporation in 1987.

WIC volunteers created and staff the Wimberley Valley Museum, housed in the Winters-Wimberley House, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The museum tells the stories of people who shaped Wimberley and displays grinding stones from the town's original mill on Cypress Creek.

WIC has also preserved the Wimberley-Hughes House and historical photo collections, hosts tours for local schoolchildren, and holds annual events such as the Pie Social, River Celebration, Harvest Moon Dance and Fireside Supper.
