One of the exhibits focuses on Amasa Clark (1825–1927), a native of [[New York]] and the first permanent Anglo settler in Bandera County. He was led to the Medina River Valley by friendly Indians, where he reared nineteen children by two wives and lived to be past one hundred years of age. He established fruit orchards on a 160-acre farm along Indian Creek. He was among the last living veterans of the [[Mexican War]] and later received a pension for his service.
