Sparta Historical Society welcomes everyone to enjoy the first days of summer at Van Kirk Homestead Museum's grounds.  Stroll leisurely through our Community Garden plots with Master Gardener, who will explain about them and the role of our certified butterfly garden.

New this year is the viewing of the Van Kirk Colonial Kitchen exhibit and talk with its accompanied herb garden.  There will also be an herb and butterfly bush sale.   

Enjoy a glass of ice tea and summer treats on the house patio!   This event is totally weather dependent - there is no rain date.
