A Brief History
|
| The Lampasas Bicentennial Committee created a
subcommittee to form a museum dedicated to the history and culture of Lampasas County. The
museum committee leased the Hart House at the corner of South Western and Second streets
in May 1976. In July 1976, due to the death of the owner of the Hart House, the committee
moved to the Spann House, now known as the Cauthen House, at the corner of South Walnut
and Second streets, leasing the building from Mrs. Ruth Spann for $1.00 a year. In 1977,
the museum committee purchased the Lampasas Plumbing and Sheet Metal Building from Ross
(Bud) Bailey at 303 South Western Street with the intention of creating a permanent home
for the museum. The building dates to the 1870s and is believed to be one of the oldest
buildings in Lampasas. On July 14, 1982, the Keystone Square Museum opened its doors to
the public for continuous operation at 303 South Western Street, Lampasas, Texas. |
