HAYS COUNTY — Hays County Commissioner Walt Smith presented Patriots’ Hall of Dripping Springs with $1,500,000, courtesy of the 2020 Parks and Open Space Bond.

This check was used to cover the mortgage payoff and fund various site improvements. Commissioner Smith and Patriots’ Hall Founding Board Member Kathryn Chandler celebrated the accomplishment by touring the construction sites of the future gathering hall and wellness center.

Patriots’ Hall is a 10-acre retreat and resource base for all veterans and their families in Hays County and allows them to connect and find support. A gathering hall is currently under construction, which will provide therapeutic classes, vet-to-vet mentoring, educational and motivational workshops and job networking. In addition to the gathering hall, a wellness center and outdoor amenities will complement the newly built meeting house.
