Veterans Lantern Tour

On this very evening, guests will step back in time to 1927! The whole community is abuzz with talk about the recent veterans of the World War I in town. They are fighting for support for national veteran’s rights, and everyone has opinions! During their guided tour through the town and farm, visitors will meet townspeople sharing stories of their experiences during the war, and the hardships veterans faced returning to civilian life after they left the service – stories still relatable today. Following the tour, guests are served complimentary hot cider around a bonfire with accompanying live music (weather permitting). On Saturday, November 15, timed tours will depart every 15 minutes to guide visitors through this immersive living history experience. Admission is $10.00 if you pre-register, or $12.00 at the door. Free admission is offered for active and former military. Register online or over the phone at (913) 248–2360. Guests should arrive 15 minutes before the registered tour time. Expect 45-60 minutes of walking and standing with some limited seating in certain areas. Event is held rain or shine, so dress for the weather during the Lantern Tour.
