Lake Creek Bridge has been saved!

Today, several members of the Baylor County Historical Commission attended a meeting of the county commissioners. At that meeting, it was decided that the Lake Creek Bridge will be restored, not replaced.

The bridge has been on the minds of a lot of the Historical Commission members, lately, and all were in favor of it being preserved.

We are thankful to the county commissioners for saving this piece of Baylor County history.
