The library holds a collection of materials that pertain to the Eanes
area, past and present. The extensive library includes maps, local
histories, genealogical records, EISD directories, school yearbooks and
every Westlake Picayune newspaper ever published.
Eanes-Marshall Ranch House
The original Eanes family ranch house was moved from its original
location near Bee Caves Road and Loop 360 to the Eanes Elementary campus
in 2001. The home housed the Robert Eanes family and then the family of
his daughter, Viola Eanes-Marshall, who raised six children in it. The
house is filled with period furnishings.
Eanes Community Church
In 1874, William and Sophia Teague donated two acres of land to build
a church and school and establish a cemetery. A wooden frame building
served as the church and school until permanent structures were built.
The limestone church was built in 1928 and the Old Rock School House was
built in 1937. The church is currently being used as a classroom for
Eanes Elementary art students.
Eanes Community Cemetery
The Eanes Community Cemetery sits across the parking lot from the old
Eanes Community Church and Old Rock School House. It contains the
remains of some 30 Eanes residents including members of the Teague,
Johnson, Riley, Thurman, Garmon and Brust families.
Wagon Barn
The wagon barn is a recreation of the Johnson family ranch wagon
barn. It houses an old wagon commonly used in the late 1800s. The wagon
came from the Johnson property which was located near Loop 360 and
Westbank Road |
