Free Texas (as in zero cost)
A local author from Belton, Texas has recently written a book about free places to visit in Texas. One of the places mentioned is the Central Texas Area Museum right here in Salado! The book is only $13.46 on Amazon.com. You can find out more about the book at http://www.kcentv.com/news/c-article.php?cid=1&nid=15975.
I have visited the museum and it is in an interesting old building and chock full of history related to the various Scottish clans who settled in Texas. The museum also sponsors an annual “Gathering of the Clans” which is a fun weekend of traditional Scottish contests. I am excited because this year, November 8-9, 2008, the events will take place in downtown Salado and will be much closer to us.
But don’t wait for the big weekend to visit because the “Wee Scots Shop” will be full of hot, sweaty, kilt-clad guys fighting for haegus! Come to Salado now and visit the museum then walk or drive exactly one mile north on Main St. and cool off with a glass of Texas wine and tell us what you think.
