So I'm not sure if this is the right location but on google maps and reviews, it says the location…read moreis next to the train tracks but it is also the train museum and city commerce. This is a little museum for anyone visiting Smithville to check out. The place is only room size but its good just to get a feel for the history of this small little texas town. It brings back all the good-nature qualities of a small American town, nice people, friendly folks, clean area and quiet setting. There is a playground right next to it for the children to play at. The location is at the T-square end of the town's mainstreet. You can literally visit the museum and chamber of commerce and then walk down main street and visit a few shops. There is also a skatepark down the street to the left of this place. Everything is very quiet, minus the trains moving along the tracks behind this place but other than that, you don't evey have to worry about traffic in this area. If your looking for a fun road trip with no problems, drive on over to Smithville and give them your business and tell them I said, "Hello!" :-)

I have been trying to communicate with the Judge Secretary since Wednesday with no response. I was…read moretold how to handle something now neither party is answering. At 1340 I called the Precinct again today to ask what was the price to file a Motion, they told me I would get a returned call because they did not have the answer. Now 1900 I have yet to get a call. Now I'm thinking just because the position they hold, they think they can do whatever. I warned them I would be posting everything public because Elgin is known for their ways of whiteness.

This is where we got married. Overall, our experience was good…read more Our wedding date was July 3rd (2009), so I called way in advance to make sure that would work out since it was a Friday before a major holiday and we wanted to get married in the early afternoon. This ended up working out fine for Judge Benton Eskew's schedule, so I went ahead and set things up with his secretary. I called back a couple of weeks before the wedding to confirm the date/time just to check, and I nearly passed out (really, at the time I had a heart condition that is now surgically corrected) when the secretary at first said she didn't have it down in her book. But then she checked the Judge's calendar, and our appointment was written down there. So everything was actually okay, it was just a bad scare (yep, that's why 4 stars and not 5). A few days before the wedding my now-husband and I went to get our marriage license. The employee we interacted with was very nice, she made friendly conversation with us while getting everything ready. We were given a funny little book about marriage, which was much more gender-equal than I expected. Our actual wedding went great. The Judge and the other employees were very friendly, and accommodating of the fact that we brought a small group with us. We were surprised that the Judge had a page of bible verses to read out before marrying us ... I realize that might bother others of course, and that's why I'm mentioning it, but it wasn't a big deal to us and probably made our families happy. He also spoke about the rings' symbolic function, etc. From what I'd previously heard about courthouse weddings, I had just been expecting something much more sterile/perfunctory/impersonal than what we got, so I was very happy. We have many great pictures from our ceremony (friends and family took them), when we were only expecting to have a few. When we later got our marriage certificate in the mail we received another happy surprise: it was actually nice to look at! We were planning on displaying it in our home anyway, but we expedited the process since the certificate was so pretty.

They had several floors and 2 people running the desk. The outside was amazing to look at and is a very nice building. The children and teen section is right after you come in, there are stairs and an elevator, each floor is something different. The Fiction section is quite large and has a very large stage at the front, not sure what it is used for normally but it was a cool feature. Had some comfy chairs up there. One the floor with the fiction there was a large computer room, fully empty, First time I have seen no computers in use at a library. Even Shana remarked on that. They do allow you to use a paid for by the library Ancestry account to search family history. They had displays of books, most with themes along all the window ledges. There were two offices in this area as well, both with open doors, no one in them and signs saying library staff only. We did head up to the 3rd floor which claimed to be fireplace sitting but everything up there was closed and locked. Access was not denied, no sign nor roped off but all you could get to was a microwave. It felt like is was supposed to be closed off but someone forgot? We don't live here, so no library card but it was cool to see the place. The front desk person we spoke to wasn't super helpful, Shana asked about the age and if it was the oldest and they thought so but seemed very unsure and seemed to think it weird we stopped in. Not rude or dismissive just more confused, like they don't normally get questions or visitors. Still if you like history, old buildings, libraries, or any combination of the three, this is worth a quick look and walkthrough. Judging by the state and fireplace rooms they do some cool stuff here now and then so keep an eye out for that.

Going here transported me back to the olden days when I used to go to the library weekly as a kid…read more I typically pick up books from the central library downtown, but noticed this one on Google maps only 3 blocks away from my house. I went there to pick up a book I had on hold. In contrast to central library, this branch is your old school local library with not a ton of natural light, very quiet, and stacks (of books) galore. They had a self check out machine right next to the holds area, so I didn't even have to interact with anyone to get my book. And unlike central library, parking is free so you don't have to rush to pick out a book. I have driven past this building for 2 years and never knew it was a library! They need some flashy signage or something. If you need a quiet place to get work done, this is a nice spot.
