Learn about Taylor’s history at Moody Museum
If you’re curious about Taylor history and some of the folks who put the town on the map, then “Tales of Taylor” should be right up your alley.
A panel of speakers at the Moody Museum, 114 W. Ninth St., will share historic stories of Taylor and the people who helped shape the community 7 p.m. Thursday, March 19.
The presentation is free. Ed Komandosky, Commander Joseph Branson of the Taylor Police Department, Ted Aanstoos and Janetta McCoy will cover topics including a legendary police chief, prominent families, early economics and political power in Taylor.
“It’s always good to find out about the past — to walk in other’s footsteps. Taylor is rich in history,” said Marcie Svatek, a museum docent.
While these tales of yore coincide with the city’s Sesquicentennial Celebration programming, museum board Chairwoman Susan Komandosky said, “This is part of an ongoing series we have been doing at the museum for several years. They dropped by the wayside post-pandemic, but we’re trying to get them restarted.”
The event will be posted on YouTube @ MoodyMuseum.
The museum is the former home of Dan Moody, a Taylor native and the youngest governor of Texas.
