“Leanderthal Lady,” the prehistoric woman whose burial site was discovered in 1982 during construction. Carbon dating suggests “LeAnn” lived over 10,000-13,000 years ago. At the time of the discovery, her site was one of the earliest intact burial sites in the United States.

The first white man’s settlement in the part of Texas that would become Williamson County was the Blockhouse Tumlinson fort built between present day Cedar Park and Leander in 1835/36. Steps were cut into this
oak tree to be used as a “lookout”. The tree died many years ago. Texas
