After months of debate, the Parker County Historical Commission will have a new space inside the county attorney s office. I feel it is a most appropriate place to be inside a historical building and off the square, commission member Brenda McClurkin told commissioners Monday.
There was speculation that a space near the south door of the courthouse was initially allocated to the historical commission, but there was no vote on record, Parker County Judge Pat Deen said.
Deen said the space is being renovated to be used as a probate court. The new space will be in the western portion of the county attorney s office.

Editor s note: The year 2020 has been different, to say the least. As such, we decided to do our annual Year in Review a bit differently as well. This year provided some big issues, some less-than-pleasant news and some positive highlights sprinkled in between. While it isnât our goal to remind you of the bad times, we wanted to use this opportunity as a final door-closing to 2020 and celebrate optimistic expectations for 2021. From all of us at the Weatherford Democrat, we wish you a bright, safe and prosperous New Year!

Residents stepped up and stepped out to make their voices heard, and the early voting turnout surpassed that of 2016âs early voting numbers.
