TOPEKA â The Topeka Area Historical Society throwing a bit of party on Tuesday, July 20, to celebrate the reopening of its historical museum.
The TAHS is hosting a carry-in meal followed by a tour of the Depot Museum. Harold Gingerich, the TAHS president, will be leading the tour and telling visitors the stories behind most of the museumâs displays. The evening kicks off with a carry-in meal in the Topeka United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall beginning at 6:30 p.m. Those attending should bring a dish to share.
âWe were so happy with how Shanna Greene, an intern from Indiana Wesleyan University, transformed the Depot,â says Gingerich. âThe COVID-19 pandemic forced us to remain closed last year. so people did not have an opportunity to see all the changes. I think people are going to be impressed by what they see. The Depot is a great place for parents to bring their children and introduce them to a little local history.â
LAGRANGE â The flags outside the LaGrange County Office Building, home of the LaGrange County Commissioners, flew at half-staff Thursday in honor of one of their own.
Those flags, as well as the flags flown outside of the LaGrange County Courthouse, the LaGrange County Justice Building, and the LaGrange County Sheriffâs office were all lowered late Wednesday afternoon in honor of LaGrange County Commissioner Larry Miller, who died at his home on Wednesday.

He had recently returned home and been back to attending public meetings virtually before his death this week.
