Garner Area Historical Society Annual Membership Meeting
Antique Show and Tell
March 2nd at 4:00
Located at The Fire Station Training Room on Main St. (next to the fire station)
We are excited to announce our annual membership meeting for 2025. In addition to presenting last year’s accomplishments, this year’s plans, and the new officer’s election, please join us for an Antique Show and Tell. Light refreshments will be served.
Current members are encouraged to bring friends and acquaintances that might be interested in joining the Garner Area Historical Society (GAHS) or who are interested in volunteering.
Antique Show and Tell:
We invite you, our members, to bring a favorite small antique to share with the group. Bring your small antique item (pre-1960) either inherited or acquired to show the group and tell us of it’s significance. Or if you have an item that you are unsure of it’s purpose or history, there may be someone in attendance that can give you some information on it. Items will be placed on display with your name.
Here are some of the exciting events we have planned this year:
May 25th- Red Hot Caboose Tea at Banks Bed and Breakfast . This event is our annual fundraiser for the caboose restoration project.
An Antique Home Share where professional dealers will help you understand the value of your most precious antique.
A Bird House Competition for youth. Kids in different age categories are challenged to design and build a birdhouse based on a Garner historical building or with emphasis on historical references to the town of Garner. Creativity is encouraged!
Voices of the Past- One of Garner’s most favorite events. Actors take on the role of past local residents of interest to tell the history of their lives as you visit each gravesite.
We look forward to seeing you!
