Rising number of area COVID-19 cases prompts museum closure

Milam County Railroad Museum and Old Town Cameron is currently closed due to the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases in Milam, Travis, Bell and Williamson counties. Staff is monitoring information from the Milam County Health Departments in those counties due to the traffic we receive from them. The staff plans to continue to monitor COVID data and hopes to reopen as soon as the numbers decline substantially. "We encourage everyone to follow the suggestions of health officials by wearing a mask when appropriate, social distance, washing your hands frequently as prescribed and getting the free vaccines we have been provided to help stop the spread," wrote Jamie Larson, Milam County Railroad Museum director.
