Take a step back in time and learn about the rich history and heritage of Dripping Springs at the 23rd annual Fall Fest Pioneer Day. This popular, family-friendly annual event takes place at The Dr. Pound Historical Farmstead – aka the “Pound House” – located at Founders Park on RR12 North in Dripping Springs on Saturday, September 28th from 10am to 4pm.
The pioneer-themed festival transforms the historical farmstead grounds into an 1850’s era celebration, featuring live music and good food, along with historical period demonstrations and educational exhibits for young and old, all in and around the shade of ancient live oak trees.
