Museum In Molino To Be Renamed In Honor Of Lillian King
April 8, 2015
The Escambia County Commission is set to rename Molino’s museum after Lillian Fillingim King.
Lillian King was instrumental in the establishment of the Molino Community Complex — housing the Molino Mid-County Historical Society Museum, the Molino Branch of the West Florida Public Library, multiple meeting rooms, and an auditorium — in the former Molino Elementary School.
She also established the Molino Mid-County Historical Society in 1999, of which she served as president from the museum’s inception in 2013 until her passing in 2015.
On April 9, the Escambia County Commission is expected to approve a resolution official renaming the Molino Mid-County Historical Society Museum as the “Lillian F. King Museum”.
King passed away February 27, 2015, at the age of 73.

A wonderful gesture to such a deserving LADY..Lil will be missed by many ..it’s even hard to go into the Molino Community Center knowing that she won’t be there.
I know you’re smiling down, and I trust that you’re very pleased. Good job, Grandma, you deserve it. I love you.
Mrs. King worked for many years with Marilyn Wesley of Community Services to see this come to fruition. What a fitting and wonderful tribute to her.
What a deserved honor for such an honorable lady!
A very fitting tribute.
I am so happy to see this. Mrs. King did so much for the community and she worked very hard to get the museum and community center for Molino. She is missed so much by so many.
Such a wonderful person that touched so many lives and left great things behind for everyone to enjoy and benefit from for years and years to come. I have been blessed to have known Lil for many years it has been wonder to have known a real angel here on earth.
This is just wonderful. Mrs. King was a wonderful person and a wonderful asset to the community and is deeply missed.
