Pound Pioneer Farmstead, is a historic farm located in Hays County, Texas United States.
The original 750-acre (3.0 km2) farm was founded by Doctor Joseph McKegg Pound and his wife Sarah in 1854 in an unsettled area of Central Texas, now located in the City of Dripping Springs.
Pound first bought acreage near Henly; however, by December 1854, he sold his holdings there and purchased the land in what would become Dripping Springs.
the spot for the farm was chosen because it was on the road connecting Austin to Fort Martin Scott in Fredericksburg.
The original Pound Home, the oldest existing building in Dripping Springs, was built as a "dog-trot" style log cabin, but was expanded to make room for Dr.
