The spring Saturday at the Frank House presentations will open Saturday, Jan. 28, at 1:30 p.m. with a History and House Youth Tour for youth ages 9-13, according to KrisAnn Sullivan, Frank House director.
Paula Nesiba, a regular volunteer at the Frank House, will lead the tour. The Frank House is located on the University of Nebraska at Kearney West Campus. There is no admission fee for the tour.
While there is no admission fee for Saturday at the Frank House presentations, Sullivan noted: “Donations helped refurbish the master bed chamber area and will be put to good use as we begin the other planned improvement projects in the Frank House. Saturday at the Frank House educational program volunteers help make the public aware of the needs of the house, and the public responds. Donations are always appreciated in support of the Frank House.”
The spring semester offers presentations from “Bad Love” poetry readings by members of Sigma Tau Delta, the national honor society for English majors, to “Fencing Like the Franks,” a demonstration by members of the Hastings Fencing Club.
