Open House - Katy Hamman-Stricker Women's Heritage Center - Saturday, March 24, 2012, from 11 am to 4 pm

404 E. Mitchell, Calvert, Texas

Leaving Victorian conventions behind, women of the twentieth century burst on to the scene with a whole set of rules for the emerging modern-day woman. What better way to celebrate today’s modern women than to visit Calvert’s newly restored 1909 American Woman’s League chapter house, tour League founding members’ turn-of-the century homes (Arts & Crafts and Victorian styles), then top off your day with a free ice cream social and old fashioned bake sale, and greet a look alike Teddy Roosevelt, croon with the barbershop quartet, and judge the Model Ts in the historic Virginia Field Park. A family and friends event. Saturday, March 24, 2012, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information, call 979-393-0166 or visit www.khsheritagecenter.com.

Calvert’s chapter house was one of the first four built in the nation, the first in Texas, and is the only one that has been fully restored. It is one of few left in the U.S.
