Saturday Tour of the Truck Garden

Join us for our new History Highlights tour series! Each monthly Saturday tour features our professional museum staff, who get to highlight their favorite stories, research, and collections around Shawnee Town 1929. On Saturday, July 12 we’ll be taking a “Tour of the Truck Garden!” Visit our working 1920s-style vegetable garden with our staff and explore the summer crops, planting techniques, cold frames system, and learn about all aspects of the biggest industry in Johnson County 100 years ago – including why it was called “Truck Farming!”
