The final event of the year at the Spring Valley Historic site has been scheduled for next Saturday, August 29th.

The site will be open from 10 am to 1 pm and will feature the Commanding Generals Mounted Color Guard.

“They’re going to be demonstrating riding and marksmanship,” according to Jamie Martin, Executive Director of the Geary County Historical Society.

“In addition to that we are also going to have some home craft demonstrations, knitting, spinning and weaving, and then we will also have some sheep out there, so you can come out and meet the sheep and learn about the wool industry.”

The Mounted Color Guard will also have an encampment set up so you can see how calvary soldiers lived during the Civil War.

The Spring Valley Historic site is located at the corner of K-18 and Spring Valley Road.
