Ribbon cutting held for museum, research center

Body
The ribbon cutting for The Old Sheriffs Museum and Research Center in Fort Davis was held at 11 am on April 13. The Old Sheriffs Museum and Research Center came about because Carl C. Williams, a retired Brewster County Sheriff, and his friend Ben Medley, the son of past Jeff Davis County Sheriff Wilbur Medley, wanted to honor the history of law enforcement in this area of West Texas. Since the sheriffs out here cover large swaths of land and work with the small, local communities, they see and do a lot.
