FUTURE, PRESENT and PAST: What’s coming up through the historical society?
If you follow the Finney County Historical Society throughout the year, you’ve probably noticed that there’s a lot going on, and that local history is anything but dry, dull and inactive.So far in 2024 we’ve hosted the Forgotten Times Prize Raffle; the Finney County Pioneer Awards Program, now incorporating the Horizon Award; the 15th annual Flea Market Festival of Antiques, Collectibles, Art and Crafts, featuring craft, art, food, beverage and antique entrepreneurs from across Kansas; our Pre-Labor Day Rib Sale, offering historically delicious dining opportunities; the annual FCHS picnic, which took place this month with the great-great grandson of Garden City co-founder Buffalo Jones sharing his journey of discovery; and now the 2024 Historic Walking Tours of Valley View Cemetery.We also hosted over 1,500 visitors during summer weekend tours of the 1884 William and Lettie Fulton House; and we’re still in the midst of 14 free noon and evening history presentations for the community.
