Kelseyville >> The Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum welcomes back the Old Time Fiddlers Association for the monthly First Sunday Fiddlers’ Jam on Sunday.
Fiddlers, as well as other musicians, will meet in the Ely barn to perform their wonderful Americana music. Donations benefit both the Ely Stage Stop, helping to fund the blacksmith shop, and the Old Time Fiddlers Association, helping to fund their scholarship programs.
The event begins at the museum at 11 a.m. Guests can view the main house displays, learn the history of the building and its relocation to the present site, as well as get the latest information on upcoming events as spring is just around the corner. Musicians will play from noon through 2 p.m. (allowing plenty of time to get home and set for the Super Bowl). There will be the regular monthly raffle with a Valentine theme near the end of the day.
This is a free, family-friendly event for all. There will be the music with hot beverages and treats. Guests can also bring their own wine and sip it in Ely Stage Stop wine glasses that will be available for purchase.
Lake County Historical Society’s Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum is located at 9921 State Highway 281 (Soda Bay Road) in Kelseyville. Current hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. Fiddlers’ Jams occur the first Sunday of every month. Living History events are held on the fourth Saturday of each month, again, from noon until 2 p.m.
Applications will be available to become an Ely volunteer.
