The Ankeny Area Historical Society will host a “Night at the Museum” on June 14. The doors will open at 6 p.m. at both the house and the barn, which are located at 301 SW 3rd St. in Ankeny.
Ankeny native Kent Stock will be the featured speaker. A meet and greet with Kent will be held from 6-7:15 p.m., and then Kent will talk about his remarkable life at 7:30.
Stock was a legendary baseball coach at Norway High School in Iowa who later went on to become an inspirational speaker. He was the subject of the 2007 movie, “The Final Season”.
Visitors can tour the museum where local characters from the past come to life to tell about Ankeny’s history. The barn features a large Ankeny athletic display on the second floor.
Pizza and beverages will be provided by Wise Guys Pizza Wagon. Admission to the event is free, but donations are always appreciated.
