Celebrate the Independence Day weekend with the annual Starke County Historical Society Ice Cream Social. It will take place Sunday, July 6 from 1 until 3 p.m. at the museum on Main Street in Knox. Collectors of historic items are urged to bring them along to share them with friends and neighbors. In the past, antique cars, motorcycles, trucks, tractors, fire engines, arrowheads, firearms, military vehicles, native wood turnings, fishing lures and dolls have been on display. Anyone with a collection they would like to share is asked to contact Jim Schilling at 574-772-4311. The ice cream social also provides an opportunity to view the items on display at the county museum. It’s housed in the former home of Starke County native and two-time Indiana Gov. Henry F. Schricker and features three floors of items.
