The Spicewood Experience
What's in the Texas Hill Country? Well, hills. But there is a lot more. In it are frontier people that enjoy the peace and the stars. In the area there are points of interest that are worth bragging about, in it are events that rock, and in it are people that are taming the land! But we don't have local news, local municipal services (mostly), and an easy way to hear about each other in an aural format. We are here to start changing that.

Season 2023

Episode 14
We had the honor and pleasure to visit with Dortha Bittle, who is 102 and Spicewood's oldest resident, and with Doris Phillips, 95, and Spicewood's oldest teacher. They attended school at our 2-room schoolhouse (now the Community Center).
We did not have enough time to record their wonderful stories of early life and hope we return soon to learn even more. Did you know early Spicewood had a cotton gin and corn mill? What happened to the old school bell? This is a fun episode into life in the 1930s!
