Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Texas, the settlers of Lampasas faced numerous frontier challenges while fostering a vibrant community. Founded in the 1850s near mineral springs, the town became a summer retreat for Texans seeking rejuvenation. Visitors camped in groves, engaging in communal activities like singing and meals, while children played freely. This influx of summer tourists significantly boosted local commerce, transforming the population dynamics and economy of Lampasas during the "watering seasons."
