The Neely-Soames Historic Homestead in Kent will have its annual open house Saturday, Aug. 18, to let visitors get a glimpse of the way residents lived in 1885.

Located along the Green River Trail at 5311 S. 237th Pl., just north of the Russell Road athletic complex, the Neely-Soames Homestead is one of the oldest houses in Kent. It was listed on the State Register of Historic Homes in 1977.

Kent Parks and the King County Master Gardeners, whose members maintain the heritage gardens and grounds, invite residents to tour the house and gardens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 18.

For more information about the open house or to receive a self-guided walking tour of the gardens, call 253-856-5110.
