Second Saturday events include:

  • May 10 –Gardening with the Kingwood Master Gardeners
  • June 14 – Dave Conley, Homer Laughlin historian, talking about Fiesta Ware
  • July 12 – New Deal Festival adds a new exhibit on the Hodgson style houses
  • August 9 – Ice Cream Social with stories about going to school in early Arthurdale
  • September 13 – Visit and learn about our new Hodgson house E-2
  • October 11 – Eleanor’s Birthday party with period music

Stay tuned for more details and updates.

We invite you to be a part of this special year. Mark your calendars!
