Dr. Eugene Clark was a New Orleans native but spent at least 13 years practicing medicine in Lockhart. During this time, his love for the city grew, and in his will, he left a stipend for the building and maintenance of the library in Lockhart. Today’s patrons can check out digital magazines, e-books, hard copy books, and research books. Dr. Eugene Clark Library is currently the oldest running library in the state of Texas, and today’s visitors can spend time checking out reading material, joining in library-sponsored programs, or just finding a quiet spot to relax and enjoy the history.
