Pound House Farmstead Museum

Preserving the Past, Inspiring the Future

For more than 170 years, the Pound House Farmstead has stood as a reminder of the pioneering spirit that helped shape Dripping Springs. Today, the Pound House Historical Farmstead & Museum continues that legacy by preserving our community's rich history while creating meaningful experiences for families, students, and visitors of all ages.

Throughout the year, the nonprofit hosts educational programs, children's activities, seasonal celebrations, and living history events that bring the 1800s to life. From Summer Days and Pioneer Day to the beloved Homespun Holiday, every event is designed to connect new generations with the traditions, craftsmanship, and stories that built our community.

The Pound House is more than a museum—it's a place where history comes alive through blacksmithing demonstrations, quilting, candle dipping, wagon rides, historic gardens, and hands-on learning. It serves as a gathering place where neighbors become friends and visitors discover the roots of Dripping Springs.

As the organization continues to preserve this treasured landmark, community support remains essential. Whether through volunteering, sponsorships, attending events, or becoming a member, every contribution helps ensure that the history of the Pound House will continue to inspire future generations.
