Murray City takes great pride in its rich historical heritage, and efforts to preserve its historic properties are indeed underway. Despite challenges posed by the loss of some old buildings, the City has been proactive in safeguarding and revitalizing the remaining architectural gems. One prominent example of this commitment is the ongoing renovation of the Murray Theater, a significant cultural landmark. The restoration proj-

ect is an investment of more than $8 million, showcasing the City’s dedication to bringing back the theater to its former glory. This rejuvenation effort will not only preserve its historic value but also reinvigorate the local arts and entertainment scene. Another testament to Murray City’s preservation efforts is the restoration of the Murray Mansion, an architectural marvel built in 1899. Acquired by the City in 2017, plans are underway to convert it into the Murray Museum, open for public exploration. This transformation will allow residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the city’s history and culture. Moreover, the recent approval of funding by the City Council to renovate the old Murray National Guard Armory Motorpool building stands as a significant step forward. This hidden gem, nestled in the heart of Murray Park, will be reimagined as Creekside Cottage, a versatile venue for meetings and receptions. Opening its doors to the public for special occasions, it adds yet another dimension to the preservation and utilization of Murray’s historical assets.
