The new African America History Museum in Marble Falls was officially opened Feb 28.

The glass front doors at 311 Third Street in Marble Falls were festooned with purple and red balloons, the crowd had assembled, and the ribbon draping the entrance to the newly opened museum was cut by co-founders Bessie Jackson and George Perry, pastor of the adjacent church, St. Frederic Baptist.

The celebration followed an enthusiastic musical evening the night before, with about 100 people enjoying the revival of sorts; more came the next day to see the exhibits in the new building.
