Farmersville Historical Society members and guests gather Saturday, Aug. 16, to help celebrate 160 years of the Bain-Honaker House with a time capsule burial and much more.

Future Farmersville residents will one day open a box filled with stamps, coins, blueprints and memories of 2025 — all thanks to a celebration at the Bain-Honaker House on Saturday, Aug. 16.

The Historical Society marked the home’s 160th year by sealing a new community time capsule during a day of festivities.

The celebration included lawn games, crafts, refreshments and historic photo re-creations. About 65 to 70 people attended, including Mayor Craig Overstreet and City Manager Ben White.
