During this year’s Pow Wow Days, Tiskilwa Historical Society will be hosting a few special events Aug. 5 and 6 including a new 140 East showcase and extended museum hours.

At 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, local vehicle enthusiasts will display their cars, tractors, trucks and other “wheels” on the west lawn of Museum on Main. Anyone owning a vehicle to admire is invited to find a shady spot and participate in the society’s annual Classic Rides display.

All 120 free tickets have now been claimed for Saturday afternoon’s free tour of 140 East, the stately home at the corner of Main and High Streets.

Following the tour’s interest, owners Sara Phalen and Brad Kimme have scheduled additional tours in the afternoon prior to Sara’s 7 p.m. presentation at Museum on Main about their home on Monday, Oct. 10.

To reserve a spot for Oct. 10, email sara@140East.com.

The historical society will also host special Pow Wow hours from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 5 at both Museum on Main and Gallery on Galena and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 6 at Museum on Main and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 6 at Gallery on Galena.
