The Geary County Historical Society will host a lawn party on June 15th from 12:00-4:00pm. The event will be held at the historic Starcke House, located next to the Museum on 6th and Adams and offer guests the opportunity to tour the historic home for the first time since the 150-year-old building was repainted in late 2023.
The lawn party is a part of the Historical Society’s monthly STEAM Saturday programming, sponsored by United Way, and will also include historic lawn games like croquet and badminton. Guests will be able to make their own Victorian lemonade and try their hand using a hand-crank ice cream machine. Watercolor will be available along the garden’s edge with special assistance by Bella Lind from the Junction City Arts Council.
Lawn party treats will be available by donation and historic costumes or garden party attire is encouraged for all guests. Questions about the event can be directed to Kim at [email protected].
