ABILENE -- The historic Brookville Hotel is about to become history. In a post on its Facebook page, the hotel announced it was closing. Following is the text of the post.
It is with a very heavy heart that we must announce that the Covid, and the lack of traffic has forced us to close.
We hung on as long as we could , but the writing was on the wall.
We would like to thank everyone for your patronage of the Brookville Hotel over the last 125 years that the Martin family has operated it.
Mark is grieving over this decision and the fate of our employees. Please keep him and them in your prayers.
We have been a part of so many family celebrations over the years and we will miss you all.
Thank you for making us part of your families.
Peace and Grace
Mark and Connie
