Lillian King Museum To Be Dedicated Monday; Town Hall Meeting To Follow
May 10, 2015
The Molino Mid-County Historical Society Museum in Molino will be official dedicated Monday afternoon as the “Lillian F. King Museum” in a ceremony just before a town hall meeting.
The museum is being renamed in honor of Lil King, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Molino Community Complex — housing the 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 February 2015.
The dedication ceremony will be held at 4:30 p.m. Monday. A town hall meeting with District 5 Escambia County Commissioner Steven Barry will follow at 5:30 p.m. Both events will take place at the Molino Community Complex at 6450 Highway 95A in Molino.

I will not be able to attend the dedication which honors Mrs. Lil. I will be there in spirit.
Please honor Mrs. Lil King and all she has done to improve Molino by attending the dedication of the Museum if you can. Please attend the town hall meeting even if you can’t make the dedication. It is your government and if you want it to work for you, you need to make your voices heard.
