SUMMARY:Fall Festival | “The Oldest Books in the Museum's Collection” by Mark Jantzen\, Bethel College Professor of History
DESCRIPTION:Kauffman Museum owns a number of cuneiform tablets that are over 4\,000 years old.

Hundreds of Bethel students have been introduced to these objects in the class History of Civilization instituted by Professor Keith Sprunger almost sixty years ago. This Fall Fest program will be led by Professor Jantzen (85’)\, the current instructor.

SUMMARY:Fall Fest Program: “Hidden Connections: The Bethel Bell and Brown vs. Board in the Supreme Court\,” Levi Goossen ’59
DESCRIPTION:The Bethel bell once rang in the only known integrated school in Kansas\, in Prairie Bell School in Thomas County. Later the children from rural Thomas County attended school in Oakley which led to the integration of public schools nationwide by order of the United States Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education. Meanwhile the bell was passed along from the rural school to the Meadow Mennonite church in Mingo to Bethel College. Come learn more about the bell’s unique journey and how physical artifacts play significant roles in retelling stories about the past.

SUMMARY:"Galloping Gourmet: The Buffalo Bill Nobody Knows\," Steve Friesen\, museum consultant and former director\, Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave
DESCRIPTION:A hard-riding hunter\, frontier scout\, and showman\, at one time Buffalo Bill was one of the best-known men in America. But a gourmet? William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was as comfortable eating at Delmonico’s in New York City as consuming wild game around a campfire. He dined with kings\, queens\, princes and presidents as well as men like Thomas Edison\, Oscar Wilde\, and James McNeill Whistler. He was even a food innovator\, opening the first Mexican restaurant east of the Mississippi in New York City\, introducing popcorn to the European continent\, and promoting American cocktails to England. Steve Friesen\, author of the new culinary biography “Galloping Gourmet: Eating and Drinking with Buffalo Bill” will provide a whole new perspective on this famous American character who even visited Newton a couple of times.

SUMMARY:"Alps on the Plains: The Life & Work of Emil Kym" - Steve Friesen\, museum consultant and former director\, Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave
DESCRIPTION:A Swiss immigrant\, Emil Kym decorated houses. He could hang wallpaper\, do wood graining on doors and paint a hallway so the walls looked like marble. But what he did best was paint scenes of his home country in Mennonite farmhouses. Some of those scenes as well as Kym’s woodgraining tools are on exhibit at the Kauffman Museum. Steve Friesen studied Kym’s work for his master’s thesis in 1976 and has begun new research on this folk artist. Friesen’s lecture will include photos of Kym’s paintings as well as new information gathered on a visit to his hometown in Switzerland.

SUMMARY:Fall Fest 2025: "The Organ Still Sings\," Roseann Penner Kaufman and Donna Hetrick
DESCRIPTION:Roseann Penner Kaufman and Donna Hetrick will explore music in the Gesangbuch mit Noten\, a hymnal published by the General Conference of the Mennonite Church of North America in Berne\, IN in 1890.

SUMMARY:Fall Fest 2025: "Revisiting the Voth-Unruh-Fast House: 150 Years of History"
DESCRIPTION:In 1974\, Mennonites in South Central Kansas commemorated the 100th anniversary of migration from Russia to Kansas. As part of the celebration an unassuming three-room wood house was moved from one mile east of Goessel to the grounds of Kauffman Museum. The story of the Voth-Unruh-Fast house is the story of a family and a story of preservation. Kris Schmucker\, a descendent of Kornelius and Anna Funk Unruh and Kauffman Museum’s newly appointed Collections Manager\, will give a presentation exploring the family\, the move and how the house illustrates a ‘typical’ Mennonite home of the 1870s in the Goessel area.
