Llano County Museum renovation begins amid funding questions
Work on the Llano County Museum at the former Bruhl Drug Store started Monday with a bid of 9100 exceeding expectations. The committee will proceed while 1500 remains on hand and any new donations arrive, led by Raymond Winkel and members including Mrs Bruhl and Mrs Fowler. McPherson’s crew follows the architect’s plan focusing on front and roof first. Contributions are tax deductible and may be mailed to Mrs Roy Rothmann or Moore State Bank, or given to committee members. Memorial gifts are encouraged.
