Topic: Kokomo Indiana GTG

[Z66 Butch]

While visiting the Northfaces for their cookout the ladies were talking about a GTG back here in Central Indiana. This is their idea, I am just running the thread for them. :A:

The GTG is set for September the 13th.

The plan is to meet at the AUTOMOTIVE HERITAGE MUSEUM, 1500 North Reed Road (US 31) Kokomo, IN. at 10AM for a chat................ maybe we will steal a idea from Didit and bring some donuts, juice and coffee to snack on before the museum tour.

Around 10:30 we Will enter the museum (cost is $5 per adult and $2 per child). We will plan on spending 2 hours there and after that we will cruise to THE SEIBERLING MANSION
for a tour of this fabulous old home. The cost for this tour is $4 and $1 per child. It opens at 1PM so we will have time to chat a little in the parking lot, that is not a problem with anyone is it?  :cool:

After the museum tours I know we will be hungry so guess what? Yep we will find a place to eat! Our son and daughter in law live close to Kokomo so I will ask them for a recommendation of a restaurant. Parking, Service (don't rush us), and of course the food will be the priorities!  :4:

As many of you know jomomma has been ill and we have not attended many GTG's this year, we have not hosted any so this will be the first of the year for us, come on out and help celebrate jomomma getting well!

So to sum it up:


                  What: Fall GTG


                  Where: AUTOMOTIVE HERITAGE MUSEUM, 1500 North Reed Road (US 31) Kokomo, IN
                 
                             Second Stop:  THE SEIBERLING MANSION, 1200 W Sycamore St
                                                    We should be here at 1PM.

                             Third Stop: Late Lunch, I will post the location soon but it will also be in Kokomo.
                                               We will figure 2:30 for lunch.

                             Last Stop: Butch & Joan's home for BIRTHDAY CAKE & ICECREAM!

Feel free to pick one, two, three or all four stops. All times are approxmite and will depend on how much talking goes on out in the parking lots!  :A: If you think that you may join us later PM me and i will give you a cell number so you can check and see where we are when you are ready.

Automotive Heritage Museum
1500 North Reed Road (U.S. 31)
Kokomo, IN 46901
(765) 454-9999

The Pioneer Auto Club began showing cars in the early 1950's. Their early vision of an auto museum became reality in 1998. Visitors to the museum can wander through Kokomo's automotive history, beginning in 1894 through the present. The museum's historic facades feature a 1930's gas station, the Haynes home, and a 1950's diner. Auto industry related displays and around 100 antique and classic cars make this a must-see museum for car enthusiasts.

Construction on the Seiberling Mansion began in October 1889 and was completed in the fall of 1891. The house was built for Monroe Seiberling of Akron, Ohio at a cost of $50,000. 

The architecture of the house is a mixture of Neo-Jacobean (Queen Anne) and Romanesque Revival styles. It was designed by Arthur LaBelle of Marion, Indiana. Built at the height of the gas boom in Indiana, the house was originally heated and illuminated by natural gas.

The mansion includes eight rooms on the first floor, seven on the second, and a grand ballroom on the third floor with an entrance to the rotunda outside. The grand porch overlooks the grounds. Interior woodwork includes ornate design and parquetry of native walnut, oak, maple, cherry, mahogany and tulip poplar. The Victorian staircase is stunning. Moorish themes are featured in brass door knobs, plates, hinges, and sash lifts.

Since 1972, the Seiberling Mansion, because of its historical and architectural significance, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of Interior

Yea, I know....I checked with GBT, they could not make this GTG on any of the few days that were available....they were the only ones on his attending list that had been to a GTG here in the past.  We needed to come up with a day that some AV friends form Mi could attend, he works every other weekend, between that and some other commitments this is about all we had left.
