You can find an event to fit your personality and family
at the Ames-Florida-Stork House! Whether it's an adult
discussion of world politics, planting and harvesting
heritage vegetables, or taping together garbage bags to
create a working kite, our programming serves your
needs.
Families are especially encouraged to attend the
Memorial Day Ice Cream Social and open house.
Guide books and room docents will allow you to create
your own schedule, spending as much or as little time as
you like in each room!
Building on the theme of WWI and GROERS
community garden project, this summer's "Liberty
Gardens" and "War Kites" programs will provide
information as well as an activity suitable for families or
individuals to create.

The Florida and Stork families
believed strongly in promoting
a sense of community,
connections between people,
and their heritage.
In the documents they left,
Jessie, Florence, and Meda
mention spending time with
children who weren't their own,
sharing meals with "tramps",
and using the AFS House to
educate and entertain people.
The RAHS continues this
legacy by providing
opportunities for people to
"unplug" from their busy lives,
rediscover the value of simple
entertainment, and encouraging
discussions on a wide range of
topics.
Help us continue this tradition
of engaging the community and
the people that make it great by
giving of your time, talents, or
resources. Become a
volunteer or donate today!
