We are so excited to finally share what will be happening at our Open House next month! In 2024 we hosted Turkey Valley's wrestling champions, and in 2025 we welcomed with 1985 Turkey Valley State Baseball Championship Team.

This year, The Lawler Historical Society is proud to honor and celebrate the 1982 Turkey Valley State Softball Championship Team. They will be riding in the Lawler Irish Festival parade on Saturday, June 20th, and then joining us at The Starlite Ballroom at 2 PM that afternoon to discuss their memories of their championship team.

We hope to see you there!
