Local historian Justin Engleman will host an encore presentation on the
historic homes on Great Bend’s Broadway Avenue later this month.
Engleman will go through the individual history of various homes on Broadway.
Barton County Historical Society Director Richard Lartz said the historical
society will also open an exhibit the same night as Engleman’s presentation that
celebrates Great Bend’s 150th anniversary.
"The exhibit will include some bird's-eye-view maps that were made of Great Bend in its early days," said Lartz. "There's one from 1878 and another from 1882. We'll have some other things from that time period as well."
The “Broadway Beauties” presentation and Great Bend 150th exhibit
will take place Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at the historical society on
South Highway 281. Admission is $5 and free of charge for historical society members.
