A statue of Dan Moody was dedicated this morning on the Square in Georgetown, right outside of the Williamson County Courthouse where Moody convicted members of the Ku Klux Klan in the early 1920s.

Moody later went on to become the Governor of Texas, serving from 1927-31, according to The Moody Museum.

Mickie Ross, executive director of The Williamson Museum, said Moody's legacy means a lot to the county.

"Sharing the history of Williamson County is so important," Ross said. "I think this is a banner day not only for Georgetown and Williamson County, but for the world to see the importance of someone like [Dan Moody] and what he did."

The Williamson Museum raised $25,000 in funds for the statue designed by Lucas Adams. The City of Georgetown matched those funds, Ross said.
