Kevin Fron works on getting the sprinkler system back up after the ground was dug up for the placement of the new statues at the Granbury courthouse.
Two new statues are coming to the courthouse in Granbury very soon. “The Silent Pray” is a 12 by 12 by 17-foot-high bronze statue that will be put on a circular concrete pad that is on the southwest corner of the courthouse. The other statue is named the “Black Star” which features a Shaman woman that will be placed next to the gazebo against the courtside on the west side of the gazebo.
Faye Landham, a longtime Granbury resident was friends with the donor of the statues through preserve Granbury. The statues were donated by Ken Hill, a Granbury resident who passed away in Nov. of 2020.
“In his will he left a trust fund where he donated both the statues to the city,” Landham said.
Hill collected all sorts of Indian pieces, Landham added.
According to County Judge Ronald Massingill the statues are set for arrival and set up on Fri, Sept. 8. “We’re going to have a big public unveiling of the statues,” Massingill said.
Be on the lookout for the arrival of the pieces at the courthouse and get ready for the big unveiling to be announced later with more details to come.
