Poor Farm Sesquicentennial Dinner
Established in 1866, the Ottawa County Poor Farm was founded after the Civil War to house the Countys indigent residents. Many Civil War veterans, senior citizens, and other people unable to care for themselves independently, resided at this working farm.
To celebrate the unique history of this property, the Tri-Cities
Historical Museum invites you to the Poor Farm Sesquicentennial Dinner Celebration. Set in the rustic setting of the Keepers Shelter at Eastmanville Farm, this casual event will feature a re-created menu based on a meal served in 1899. Judge Ed Post will serve as the emcee for the evening, taking on the character of Poor Farm resident, Judge David Fletcher Hunton. Additional re-enactors, as well as musicians and speakers, will entertain.
Reservations are required. Tickets are available at the Tri-Cities Historical Museum or on-line at www.tri-citiesmuseum.org. Seating is limited to 200 guests, kindly purchase your tickets no later than September 23, 2016.
