April Fools’ Tour at Stone-Tolan
For one day only, The Stone-Tolan House Historic Site will once again be forced to suffer the indignities of sushi, lava lamps, and a number of other inappropriate items on display in its venerable rooms.
On Saturday, April 6th come to Stone-Tolan, and see what you can find that is out of place in the tavern room, kitchen, parlor bedroom, hallway and pantry. Some may be obvious – like the sushi. Others will be a bit more challenging (hint: what is the date on that coin?) There will be prizes!
Saturday, April 6 | Stone-Tolan Historic Site | 2370 East Ave. | $5 for adults, children FREE | Complete details on our website
