The Koester House Museum and Gardens

06/12/2026

So much going on in and around the museum yesterday. We’ve had Sarah Morrison visiting. Sarah is Charles F. Koester’s great granddaughter. She always has delightful memories to share with us. Plus The Kansas Humanities Board came by for a tour and dinner in the garden followed by the community band concert. It’s wonderful that this house that Charles built can touch so many.
