Celebrate Veteran’s Day with our National Award-Winning history event: IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS: A LANTERN WALKING TOUR!
On this very special evening tour, guests will step back in time to 1927 Shawnee! 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).
Tours are Saturday, November 15 with timed tours departing every 15 minutes to guide visitors through this immersive living history experience. Guests should arrive 15 minutes before the registered tour time.
Admission is $10.00 if you pre-register, or $12.00 at the door! Free admission is offered for active and former military. Please visit the link below or call (913) 248–2360 to register.
