About
The Lela Latch Lloyd Museum is dedicated to collecting items of regional interest and chronological value for the Cisco area of West Texas. There are evidences from prehistoric times, Indians, Spanish and Mexican conquests, early settlers, ranchers and farmers, the Civil War, and the town builders in the collection. Also, there is an Alumni room. It features pictures of teachers and students from Cisco High School, including King & Queen Lobos.
The Lela Latch Lloyd Museum was the dream of local historian Dr. Duane K. Hale, a friend of retired Cisco school teacher Lela Lloyd (1906-1998). Mrs. Lloyd came to Cisco with her family about 1914. She attended Cisco schools and later became a teacher at Cisco High School and Cisco Junior College. She retired from teaching after 37 years. Lela wrote her 1st book, "Best Damn Teacher" as a memoir of her years of teaching in public school.
Dr Hale wanted to commemorate the life of the local author and historian and so named the museum after her. He was the initial incorporator and has invested countless hours in the restoration of the dilapidated building that has served as the Cisco City Hall and as an entertainment center. Dr. Hale was able to get 501C3 non-profit status for the museum and it survives on tax exempt donations.
LOCATION: 116 West 7th Street, Cisco, TX 76437
COST: No entry fees are required, although donations are accepted.
HOURS OF OPERATION: Saturdays from 10am to 2pm
