Ever wonder about the little cabin on the City Hall property? 🤔

That’s the Liebelt Cabin and now’s your chance to step inside history!

Our Heritage Committee is offering FREE tours:
📅 Saturday, April 11, 2026
⏰ 10 AM – 12 PM
📍 1102 Lohmans Crossing Rd.

Come learn about the cabin’s historical significance and get a glimpse of how people lived back in the old days. It’s a great outing for all ages! 🛖

We hope you can stop by after the Wilderness Run or the Summer Kickoff that are happening that same morning.

We hope to see you there!

🎨 Now on Display at the Lakeway Heritage Center!
We’re proud to feature a signed print of Corinne McClaran’s "Under a Texas Sky Pops Concert". This is a vibrant watercolor capturing the spirit of the Lake Travis Arts League’s beloved 4th of July tradition of an art show, and the Austin Symphony Orchestra’s performance during fireworks.

In 1995, the Lake Travis Arts League held an art show under tents on the grassy area at the World of Tennis in concert with the July 3rd event. Corinne McClaran created her colorful watercolor painting reflecting the evening festivities and whimsy. Her artwork became a local favorite and graced posters and T-shirts. The original was purchased by Jack O’Neill Jr., son of former Lakeway Mayor Jack O’Neill.

Corinne and her husband, Colonel Jack McClaran (soon to be 101!), have called Lakeway home since 1975 and continue to be active community members. They were recognized as one of the remaining long-time residents at the Heritage Committee’s Quarter Century Club gathering this summer.

💙 We hope you can stop by and see her beautiful painting!
