The Geary County Historical Society will host an open house at their Spring Valley Historic Site from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
This is billed as a kid-friendly event featuring a tour of the site, including the one-room school house, outdoor games like sack races and jacks. There will be historic demonstrations such as woodchopping, children’s chores and wood carving.
The site includes the original Spring Valley schoolhouse where classes were held from 1873 until 1958, the Little Cabin, which captures the life of a pioneer on the plans, and the historic Wetzel Cabin where the first Lutheran services were held in Kansas.
