Lampasas County Courthouse is among the oldest courthouses still in use in Texas.

The natural artesian springs have drawn people to Lampasas County for centuries. Native Americans first discovered the mineral waters, and health-seeking settlers followed in the 1850s. Today, visitors can swim in a pool that is fed by the springs.
