The Longview Museum of Fine Arts will soon play host to a photographic essay celebrating 80 years of the Kilgore College Rangerettes.

LONGVIEW, Texas (KLTV) - The Longview Museum of Fine Arts has purchased the old National Bank Building, also known as the Regions building in downtown Longview.
Executive Director and Curator of Exhibitions, Tiffany Jehorek, said papers were signed last week to purchase the building with the hopes of eventually moving the museum into it.
Jehorek said they had originally planned to renovate the building the museum is currently in back in 2018, but as the price estimate for renovating went above $1-million, they were approached by the owner of the bank building and began looking at it as an opportunity to move.
