Deck the Halls Historical Home Tour - Broken Arrow
The gracious home of G. A Brown, founder
of Arkansas Valley State Bank of Broken Arrow, is being presented to
the community in a festive holiday open house by Browns granddaughter,
Barbara Kimbrough and the Broken Arrow Historical Society. The elegant
two-story white frame and brick home is located at 219 East Dallas
Street and is recognizable by anyone who has lived in Broken Arrow for
any length of time. Mr. Brown built the home about the same time he
opened the bank in the brand new community of Broken Arrow, Indian
Territory, in 1905.
The proceeds of the open house-tour will benefit the Broken Arrow
Historical Society, which is raising funds for exhibits in its new
facility. The new museum will be constructed at the corner of El Paso
and Main on land donated by Arkansas Valley State Bank. Groundbreaking
for the 9,000 square foot museum will take place in the second half of
2006.
Local florists are hard at work designing Christmas
garlands, and all types of holiday decorative items that will adorn the
home for the holiday tours and which will be for sale during the event.
Visitors will enjoy Christmas music and can purchase home-baked goodies
during their tour.
The open house-tour is scheduled for Sunday,
November 27 and Sunday, December 4, from 1 to 5 p.m. each afternoon.
Admission is $5 per person at the door.
