Annual Dinner to Benefit the Historical Society

This year’s annual historic dinner will be held at the Versailles Knights of Columbus Hall on St. Rt. 47 West. The special evening will be February 14, 2015 with Cocktails at 6:00 pm and Dinner at 7:00 pm.

We will be recreating the Welcome Dinner hosted by Herr Seibt and his wife as they invite their newest neighbors in Dutch Roost or today, we would say Webster. In 1840 many German/Prussians came up the Stillwater to the tiny village that would feel like home.

Your hosts will transform you back to an old Inn and will recount the days of a bustling Webster with taverns, mills, general store, and many prosperous farms that surrounded the fertile rural area.

Dinner will be served by candle light and will feature German/American foods , from roasted turkey and dressing, to fresh sausage and sauerkraut, along with several delicious sides and a fabulous dessert, not to mention the appetizers of stuffed mushrooms and sauerkraut balls with a cash bar for your convenience.

Live music of the period will enhance your trip back in time to a special place in our areas history. Limited seating is available, so it is recommended to purchase tickets early! They are on sale now by contacting the museum at 937-526-4222 for $50.00 each.
