G.A.R. Hall June Events

There was a good turn-out for Monday’s annual Meeker County Historical Society Memorial Day Picnic at the Litchfield Opera House. The G.A.R. Hall and Meeker County Museum also had several visitors on Monday.

Museum Director Danelle Erickson says they had their last school tour of the season yesterday. She says they have a couple of events coming up in June, including the monthly Civil War Roundtable discussion on Thursday, June 8th at 1:30.

Erickson says Juneteenth is coming up on June 19th, so they will have an event on the Saturday before that – June 17th. She says there will be a noon lunch June 17th at the G.A.R. Hall and then a program about some of the black families who settled in Meeker County following the Civil War.

The Meeker County Museum and G.A.R. Hall is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10-to-4 and on Saturdays from noon-to-4. It’s located at 308 North Marshall Avenue, just east of Litchfield’s Central Park.
