Celebrate 1920s Day at The W.H. Stark House! We’ll have a swell time on June 9 during Art in the Park. No dough needed with free tours of the House from 10:00 am to 3:15 pm.
“Our historic craft activities are the Bee’s Knees,” says Jenniffer Hudson Connors, Curator of Public History for the W.H. Stark House. “Guests are invited to make bow-ties, and fascinators while enjoying mocktails. No giggle-water allowed, remember, it was the era when alcoholic drinks were prohibited by law!”
“Can you imagine Lutcher Stark as a young man doing the Charleston on the front porch? He did,” continued Hudson Connors. “There is a letter in the Stark Foundation Archive from a friend reminiscing about the time he taught her the dance.”
Tours are free and begin every 20 minutes. Call ahead to reserve a tour at 409-883-0871, or email dwhatley@starkfoundation.org, or just drop by.
