Old cars, boats can help restore Falls museum

Your old boat or vehicle can help restore the Falls on the Colorado Museum, which is housed in the Old Granite School Building at 2001 Broadway. The museum will soon open its second floor to exhibits for the first time since taking over the building in 2010.

To donate cars, trucks, RVs, jet skis, boats, or just about any motorized eyesore, call Metro Auto Auction at 512-282-7900. The auction house in Dale will pick up any vehicle from almost anywhere in Central Texas. Once towed back to the auction yard, the vehicle will be sold, and proceeds will go to the museum.

The museum leases the building from the Marble Falls Independent School District, which recently spent $250,000 shoring up the second floor to make it safe for visitors. The museum is raising money to replace the upstairs windows, which are not original to the building among other upgrades.
