Mission Statement

The Warkentin House depends upon dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers to carry out daily operations and special programs. The house has a need for docents who provide guided tours to museum guests. Training is provided. Docents work one to three afternoons (1 p.m. - 4 p.m.) a month in summer and one afternoon a month in fall or spring. Scheduling is flexible.

Description

The historic Warkentin House is the former home of Bernhard and Wilhelmina Warkentin, built in 1887. It is a splendid example of the Victorian period in American architecture and furnishings. As a museum, the house offers a glimpse into the way the Warkentins lived, since 80 percent of the original furnishings remain. The house is listed on the Kansas and National Registers of Historic Places.
