Now known as the "Gateway to the Hill Country," this small,
historic town was once just a stagecoach stop between Austin and
San Antonio. Founded by three pioneer families arriving from
Mississippi in early 1854, the area was originally occupied by
Tonkawa Indians. Despite an increasing pace of growth, the agrarian
lifestyle established by the founding families continues to be
preserved by farmers and ranchers, and the town remains committed
to preserving its history. A local walking tour features a variety
of sites, from the namesake Indian watering hole in town to the
restored Dr. Pound Pioneer Farmstead at Founder's Park. Another
landmark is the world-famous Salt Lick BBQ, where hundreds of
visitors gather nightly to mingle with the locals and enjoy a
delicious "taste" of history. Still, the main attractions to life
in Dripping Springs continue to be what drew the original founders:
simple charm, a family lifestyle, and lifelong friendships--all set
in the beauty of the central Texas hill country.
