A come and go celebration will take place in our Historic Stone Church. Various speakers will present topics relevant to Ellis County history including early fort history, Buffalo Bill and Louisa Cody, the figure of Jim Curry, Charles Sternberg, early German settlement, Union Pacific and many others followed by Q&A. Gunfighters hold reenactments and start the event at 10am, holding new fight on the hour until 4pm. Refreshments will be served, stop by just to say hi or stay for the afternoon. All three out buildings will be open for touring as well.
