- This region of Texas is a little bit Hill Country, a little bit Wild West and 100% Texan. It's a place with deep roots, hidden history and steaming schnitzels.
Lampasas County Museum is full of relics from the past, including the building - which was an old sheet metal shop! Learn about the days when Lampasas was a little rough around the edges. During the Wild West, this town had 36 different saloons! This museum’s got it all, from antique guns to modle steam trains.
Since we filmed this episode, the World’s Largest Spur has found a new home in Abilene, Kansas.
Stop by the oldest bath house in Texas to see the ruins of the luxury of yesteryear. Back in the 1800s, folks flocked to Lampasas to take a dip in the historic “healing” sulfuric springs at bath houses and hotels just like this one.
Rustler’s Junction is furniture store with a very wacky sense of design. Lining the walls are all sorts of odd and unique decorations from decorative critters and dinos made of iron. But my absolute favorite part is all of the taxidermy!
Eve & Steve grew up in Germany and landed in Lampasas after retirement - and they brought with them their delicious German cookin’. Fill up on their signature schnitzel or bratwurst with curried ketchup, and don’t forget the beer! Prost! PS - just hope you aren’t afraid of puppets…the walls of this cafe are lined with marionettes!
Alfredo’s is a full experience! Sitting on the banks of a swamp and surrounded by stationary creatures, you might just feel like you’re at some sort of amusement. But kooky décor aside, the menu is full of your favorite Tex Mex classics and the deep fried jalapenos appetizer is to die for! I highly suggest you get their queso and the Enchilada Flag plate with green, white, and red sauce enchiladas!
Storm’s Drive-In opened in 1950 and it’s been a town hangout ever since. It’s even rumored to be a favorite spot of Elvis’s when he was stationed at Fort Hood. And it’s where you can get the semi-secret house specialty of a Frosted Dr Pepper. Yum!
Here in Texas, there’s nothing we love more than Tex-Mex and barbecue - and Young’s Burritos and BBQ is mixing these in the most delicious of ways. Order a burrito filled with moist brisket, crisp pico and spicy verde sauce at this family-owned joint for possibly the most Texan meal on the planet!
For centuries, people have traveled from far and wide to experience these healing springs - and though they’re no longer a hot-spot for swimming, they’re still really cool to see!
This is the place to make a splash in Lampasas! Since 1911, folks have enjoyed the chilly 69 degree spring-fed waters - in fact, it’s one of the oldest spring-fed pools in Texas - older than Barton Springs! Take a dip and let the “healing” waters work their magic…
In this whimsical garden, art meets nature and dreams meet reality. Make your way through the 22 interactive art pieces by local artist Nancy Gray for a wonderfully weird and fun afternoon!

The best compliment I can pay your show is that it is very much a modern "Texas Hill Country Reporter." I love it.
You mean Texas Country Reporter? Not Texas Hill Country Reporter.
@@jasondelaney6849 Yes sir. You are right still a great show.
That's a high compliment
@@TheDaytripper is well deserved
This is an episode tailor made for my husband! He has lived many places, but some of his fondest memories are from Lampasas, TX. We took a trip there and to other places in Hill Country in October 2021. We are looking forward to heading back that way maybe this year. We love your show and I listen to your podcast often. Never stop promoting the great state of Texas.
As someone raised here since birth this was cool to see
I spent 63 of my 65 years on earth going through Lampasas on my way between Comanche and Austin. (Either Texas 36 to Hamilton, US 281 to Lampasas, 183 to Austin, or 183 to Goldthwaite, Texas 16 to Comanche.)
You just never know what we'll get to see! I so enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
I need to spend a few days in Lampasas.
Love Storm's! I lived in Copperas Cove for a while and it was always
nice to visit LTX
Eve flying away on the pig made me lol 😂
🤠
My great x3 grandfather was Thomas Huling and helped settle Lampasas among other towns across Texas. He's buried in the old Huling-Anderson Cemetery found in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lampasas. My parents live in between Lampasas and Kemper.
Cool. Solid legacy there.
Enjoyed !
been near it, never stopped here before. may have to sometime soon now. good episode!
alfredos is really good !
I live in burnet right down the road! Go to Lampasas every week
As always a great trip! Y'all should go back to Dripping Springs. A lot's changed there, and they even have the only crowd funded distillery, The Crowded Barrel. They're making great whiskey there, and it's right up the road from the Salt Lick.
One of our favorite places for good German food.Yum!
As a person who lives in lampasas it’s a cool place
That’s awesome all those kids will be able to see themselves jumping in with the camera!
Just read that Eve finally hopped on that flying pig and left the building, which is a bummer!!
This was a cool episode.
Thanks!

Dude you actually visit my town that's awesome I have never seen a video like this where it involves my home town. Thank you for visiting Lampasas TX
I was just there the other day lol
How did the bottom of hannah springs feel
Note to self (that’s you Chet)…Sulphur and chiggers don’t play well together, if ya know what I mean. When I was a kid in Stephenville, we dusted the cuff of our jeans with Sulphuric powder…I reckon that would work if you got your pant legs wet with the water…. - “Ol’ Scooter” in East Texas
Dude if you want a Lampasas Historic Tradition? You need to see "Spring Ho!" Starts first week of July, every year.
There goes an hour.😅😅😅
👊👍
There are no buffalos in North America. Only bisons.
