285. Candy Nugent

285. We interview Candy Nugent of the Snyder Museum in Bastrop. Located on spacious, beautifully landscaped grounds, the 1929 brick home of Charles and Esther Snyder was developed into the Snyder Museum and Creative Arts Center by the members of the Morehouse Historical Society in 1972. In addition to the original home two other buildings are located on the property, the Carriage House and the Garden Room with adjacent patio. The Carriage House includes a permanent exhibit of historic farm implements as well as a horse drawn hearse and country store. The Garden Room and patio, through the efforts of Clarklea Garden Club was built in the late 1990’s to be used as a rental venue for weddings, social events and community functions.
