Kimble County Historical Museum

What started as a distant, maybe unattainable, dream for local folks is now a reality. Kimble County has a new, spacious, functional genealogy/historical museum facility. The county’s former obsolete, “what-are-we-going-to-do-with-it” hospital building has been carefully and beautifully transformed. The multi-year renovation construction is finished, and the historical artifacts, documents, photos, furniture and fixtures have been updated and catalogued and moved from the 1938 American Legion Hut building on Fourth Street.

In addition to the displays featuring the history of Kimble County and the surrounding Hill Coun- try, the museum features one room containing memorabilia from the collection of native son, former Governor Coke R. Stevenson. There is also a dual-room area for the Frederica Burt Wyatt Genealogical Section to be used to facilitate research. A former hospital room has been retained largely intact, complete with Kimble Hospital memorabilia. There are a kitchen area and meeting rooms.

The dream has been realized due to the enormous work and financial support of many, many people. Please check out the new Kimble County Historical Museum at 130 Hospital Dr.

KC LIBRARY & THE O.C. FISHER MUSEUM

Whatever brings you to Kimble County, make plans to stop in for a visit to the local library. The recently remodeled library offers state-of-theart amenities while at the same time keeping that “small-town and homely charm”.

There are 17 public computers with access to the Internet, free of charge. Public WiFi is also available from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday, so feel free to bring your own personal devices as well.

The library offers a wide variety of magazines and newspapers and thousands of books in print, audio materials, and DVDs while also participating in a giant state-wide consortium to offer an almost endless supply of eBooks and eMagazines via the CloudLibrary app.

A beautiful coffee bar can be enjoyed in a relaxing atmosphere next to the newspaper sec- tion of the library. Coffee, bottled water, tea and cookies are available on a regular basis. An outdoor patio is also available for those who like to relax with a good book out-of-doors.

Throughout the year, the library offers numerous programs for all age groups, including puppet shows, field trips, read-a-thons, STEM events, summer performers, an epic pumpkin patch festival, Picture with the Grinch, a newly minted gardening club, and much more.

Housed inside the Kimble County Library is the the O.C. Fisher Museum. It contains the memorabilia of US Congressman O.C. Fisher, a Kimble County native who served in Washington for 32 years and was known as “Mr. States’ Rights”. There is a duplication of his D.C. office, and relics of his political life and writings are on display.

One of the structures Junction is most known for is its majestic South Llano River Bridge.
