Museum Foundation to release history book

2008-11-28 / Lifestyles

The Lampasas County Museum Foundation has announced that Keystone Square Museum's photographic history, "Lampasas County," is slated to be released on Feb. 16. The price will be $21.99 plus tax.

"Lampasas County," at 128 pages, includes over 200 photographs with captions. It is being published by Arcadia Publishing in its Images of America series.

Arcadia is the leading local history publisher in the U.S., with over 4,000 titles in print.

Nine chapters, such as "Old Town Lampasas," "County Life," "The Badgers, the Hornets and the Eagles," "Spreading the Word," and "Cowboys and Crops" give the flavor of Lampasas County from about 1856 through just after the Mother's Day flood of 1957.

The authors made an effort to include as many of the smaller communities and photographs as possible.

The museum plans a publication party near the book's release date, and details will be available in the future.

For information, phone 556-2224.
