Now the Bell County Museum . On the ground floor the lighter rectangles in the wood flooring show where the bookshelves once were. According to local legend, the citizens of Belton were so persistent in writing to Mr. Carnegie himself and not the corporation, that in order to free up his mailbox, Mr. Carnegie wrote a personal check for the amount of construction. Years later when a remodeling grant was requested the Carnegie Corporation had no record of an initial grant. The Museum hours are 1-5p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Admission is free.
Contributions are encouraged.
