Tales ‘N’ Trails planning exhibit for county musicians
Montague County has a rich heritage of musicians who now or in the past, called the county home.
The Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum in Nocona is planning a temporary exhibit to honor these musicians. From “Big Tiny” Little, a regular on the Lawrence Welk Show to notables such as Honey Welch and The Spectre, from solo and group performers to music teachers and church instrumentalists, the museum would like to recognize these folks as part of our county and area history.
If you have newspaper clippings, programs, pictures, or other related memorabilia such as album covers, instruments, costumes, etc. that you would be willing to loan to the museum for a few months this would help make the exhibit a nostalgic and memorable attraction for museum visitors.
The museum will be accepting these items during the week of June 16-20. Please consider lending your items for this special exhibit.
They will scan any photographs, clippings, etc. to reproduce for the exhibit. Any three-dimensional items will be photographed and measured to help plan adequate exhibit space. You may then bring them in again as the exhibit is built.
The exhibit should open in October and be up for several months.
If you have questions, contact Museum Director Nell Ann McBroom at 940-867-3944 or exhibit volunteer Larry G. Lemons at 940-366-5782 or stop by the museum in Nocona.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
