Thanks to the generosity of many volunteers, fifth grade students got a taste of what Farmersville was like in the 1900s as the annual history event surrounding the Bain-Honaker House took place for the 21st year.

The program, which started in 1996, has been instrumental in creating an interest for many children, – an interest in learning the history of the community and those ancestors who long ago created it.

Since the median age of those that belong to the Farmersville Historical Society has been rising, the organization depended on help from the community during this year’s event.
