Dear Editor,
The Bunce School Museum in Allenspark is open for tours this summer including this Saturday, August 15.
This one-room schoolhouse was built in 1888 and restored by Hilltop Guild members in 1996. Bunce School holds county, state, and national historic designations. The Guild continues to own and maintain the museum school and grounds, which reflects the period 1888 - 1945. The schoolhouse is located approximately four miles south of Allenspark off Highway 7 on Bunce School Road.
It makes an easy family friendly outing from Lyons or Estes Park. It will be open, with volunteers on duty, August 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., September 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and September 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A special day to visit will be September 19 which is the Guild's Fall Festival.
The Hilltop Guild is headquartered at the Kelley House, which is a short walk from Bunce School. Admission is free to Bunce School Museum and the Fall Festival where chili lunches will be for sale.
This year, the members of Hilltop Guild donated $13,000 in eight scholarships to high school students in Lyons and Estes Park.
