The Geary County Historical Society will hold an open house at St. Joseph’s Historic Church on May 6th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m..
The historic church is an ongoing restoration project for the Historical Society and the open house is an opportunity for the community to see recent improvements to the 100-year-old church, including new windows, repaired masonry, and installed electricity, according to Heather Hagedorn, Executive Director/Curator, Geary County Historical Society.
Volunteers will also be on hand with the history of the site and the cemetery where many of the church founders have been laid to rest.
Light refreshments will be served, and all are welcome to learn about this piece of Geary County history. St. Joseph’s Historic Church is located at 13497 Lower McDowell Creek Rd.
St. Joseph’s Historic Church is still an active restoration project. The Historical Society is seeking donations for the next steps of the project which includes plaster work on the interior walls and restoring the wood floors.
Questions can be directed to the Geary County Historical Society at 785-238-1666. Donations to the project can be mailed to Geary County Historical Society, 530 N Adams, Junction City KS 66441.
