Fall Fest 2025: "Revisiting the Voth-Unruh-Fast House: 150 years of History"

In 1974, Mennonites in South Central Kansas commemorated the 100th anniversary of migration from Russia to Kansas. As part of the celebration an unassuming three-room wood house was moved from one mile east of Goessel to the grounds of Kauffman Museum. The story of the Voth-Unruh-Fast house is the story of a family and a story of preservation. Kris Schmucker, a descendent of Kornelius and Anna Funk Unruh and Kauffman Museum’s newly appointed Collections Manager, will give a presentation exploring the family, the move and how the house illustrates a 'typical' Mennonite home of the 1870s in the Goessel area.
