Mt. Bonnell monument restoration begins
Monday, June 1, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
The city is moving forward with the restoration of the historic Covert monument at the top of Mount Bonnell today. The restoration process is expected to take about two weeks. It will be completed with the help of a $25,000 grant from the Texas Historical Commission’s Certified Local Government Program and the continued efforts of the West Point Society of Central Texas. The restoration even has its very own website these days.
