BASTROP — With a century at the corner of Main and Farm streets, one of the city’s oldest churches is getting the spotlight this summer.
The Bastrop Museum and Visitor Center’s new exhibit, “100 Years at 1201 Main St.,” honors the First United Methodist Church’s historic role in Bastrop’s spiritual and civic life. The display celebrates its legacy with rare photos, documents and artifacts tracing the congregation’s story from 1835 to the present, according to museum officials.
“The men and women who worshipped over the years in Bastrop’s Methodist church provided a spiritual foundation for the Bastrop community,” said Michal Hubbard, a trustee of the Bastrop County Historical Society. “They were also some of the town’s cultural and corporate movers and shakers.”
