Plans are being made for the "Celebrate a Century" party honoring the 100th birthday of the historic 1910 Kaske House located at Heritage Park on the corner of Columbia Avenue and Ridge Road in Munster, Indiana. If you would like to serve on this committee, make a donation, or belong to a business or organization that would like to participate or sponsor this event, please contact volunteer@munsterhistory.org.
A turn-of-the-century themed one or two-day weekend event at Heritage Park could feature old-fashioned games, food vendors, and craft demonstrations. We would like to have a blab school, box social, storytelling, vintage cars, banjo players, barbershop quartet, and bluegrass band. We would like to offer prizes and sell candy, balloons, t-shirts, cookbooks, baked goods, etc.
This event will be a combination celebration and fundraiser for the Kaske House facelift planned for a very special home that has served our community for a century. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and honored as a town landmark in 2007, the Kaske House is maintained by Munster Parks and managed by the Munster Historical Society. It has served as a popular and charming house museum since 1997 and is now called the Munster History Museum.
