Girl Scouts gather at Nitschke house for Living History Tour
Local Girl Scouts and Brownies gathered at the Oswald J. Nitschke House on March 30 for a tour of the “living history” museum followed by tea in the site’s cultural arts center. The program, which included, among other activities, a flag-folding demonstration by local Boy Scouts, an opportunity to hear some of John Philip Soussa’s popular patriotic music played on the museum’s 1920s-era Victrola, a story reading of how Kenilworth got its name and a presentation of the Nitschke House’s history as a farmhouse located on land owned by J. Lawrence Benedict in the 1800s, helped the girls earn their “Celebrating Community” badge.
