Festival-goers will notice the new Alice Moseley Pavilion on the grounds of the depot during the event. Last month Hancock Tourism hosted a reception for honored guests and visitors who attended the dedication. The pavilion is part of an on-going effort by the Friends of Alice Moseley Museum to honor both Miss Alice and the city.
