Our talented and entertaining speakers will bring many of the Meeker Family members to life with little known stories enjoyed by all ages.
Each day at noon, there's time to visit downtown Meeker Days to order a tasty lunch, and then head back to the Mansion for afternoons of more interesting stories.
Then finish the afternoons with a guided tour of the Puyallup Cemetery on Friday, and the Sumner Cemetery on Saturday. Guests will enjoy Dennis Larsen's little known stories of the Meekers and other prominent citizens.
Meet Meeker descendants that we've invited to celebrate with us and learn more about their family history at the Mansion.
