NEWS & EVENTS



GOOD OL' SUMMERTIME


Good Old Summertime, open house at Barton County Historical Museum and Village is scheduled for Sunday, June 27th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Don't bother to eat, the concession will have delicious luncheon and snacks. Entertainment will feature continuous music throughout the day, a magic act, zoo animals, wood carvers, and many other demonstrations. Help scrub on the washboard, churn butter, pump water, or just jump on the burlap swing. Cool your heels in the jail. Our brand new feature is the refurbished little train, formerly run at Christmas Fantasy Village. Popcorn and lemonade will be available. Visit all 12 buildings, plan to spend the afternoon!


This summer event is open to the public, free of charge. The museum and village is located south of the Arkansas River Bridge on US Highway 281. Call 620-793-5125 for additional information.
