The King Farm (where the Museum is, now), back in 1905.
This sounds like fun – here’s the word from the Museum’s Kevin Loftus (click here for a bigger picture):
The San Juan Historical Museum’s first annual “Back to the Farm” barn dance and fund-raiser is this Saturday, Sept. 19, 3:30-8:30 p.m., on the museum grounds.
The museum’s heritage buildings will be open for tours. Dinner begins at 4:30 p.m.: pork barbecued by Jason Black, beans, cole slaw, rolls, watermelon, berry cobbler for dessert, and lemonade.
A highlight of the evening: A barn dance and a jig-with-a-pig contest. There will be surprise arrests and incarceration in the old county jail. The entertainment lineup includes ragtime pianist David Bayley, folk banjoist Mike Cohen, singer Rhianna Franklin, and the Island Country Band.
There will be a live and silent auctions; items include a biplane ride, historic photos, a pie a month for a year, gift certificates form Island businesses, a stay in a cabin on the Oregon coast and much more!
Tickets are $25 for adults, $5 per child 13 and younger. For tickets, call the museum at 378-3949 or purchase at the door. Come out an support the museum and help us to continue to preserve our San Juan Island history!
