Nearly eight months after Hurricane Harvey, the Katy Heritage Museum is officially open, according to Kayce Reina, Katy’s director of tourism, marketing and public relations. Katy City Council voted May 14 to rename the museum in honor of the late Jonny Nelson, who served as mayor from 1983 to 1987 and as city administrator from 1994 to 2014. The renaming ceremony will take place 10:30 a.m. May 24. “We are going to rededicate and rename the Katy Heritage Museum [to] the Johnny Nelson Katy Heritage Museum,” Reina said. Reina said the VFW Museum is also expected to open this spring, nine months after it took in 4 feet of Harvey floodwaters. An opening ceremony for the museum was held May 17. Reina said the reopening marked the end of months of hard work. “It was a complete gut job,” Reina said. “But most of our facilities are back open and operating, there are still some tweaks here and there on city hall but we are almost fully recovered from a facilities standpoint.”
