The Hays County Commissioners court honored a family that was pivotal in the development of Dripping Springs and provided so many valuable resources to the town by opening their property to it. The court proclaimed Dec. 8, 2023 as the Pound House Farmstead Day.
The Pound House Farmstead Board of Trustees had a ribbon cutting for the grand reopening, which was also a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the museum, on Friday, Dec. 8 at 12 p.m.
Hays County Historical Commission Chair Linda Coker said the Pound House Farmstead is a truly unique place and invited the public to come see it. She pointed out that Hays County is an area rich with history from the Coahuiltecan people of 12,000 years ago to the people of today, and the farmstead is just one of those local gems from the past.
