2009 EVENTS
Saturday, July 18 at 2:00 pm - Vintage Fashion Show and Summer Garden Party with clothing from the Victorian era through the 1950s. Celebrate summer at this fundraiser for the historic 1894 Victorian Classic Revival farmhouse built by a child-pioneer who crossed the Oregon Trail as a seven-year-old in 1853. The Neelys were one of Washington Territory's -- and Auburn's -- earliest and most influential families. The house and grounds reflect their legacy as well as that of the ethnic tenant farmers who lived there between 1900 and the 1970s, when the Auburn High School Drama Department staffed haunted house tours to provide the seed money to begin restoration of the property. The Neely Mansion is a national, state and county landmark. Cost is $10/person; advance reservations and payment required. Please call Pat at (253) 833-2116 by July 12.
