KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Bring the whole family to the Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum on Sunday, Aug. 7, for the monthly Fiddlers’ Jam.

Musicians will meet in the Ely barn to perform their wonderful Americana music from noon until 2 p.m.

The event is free, but donations made during the event benefit both the Ely Stage Stop, helping to fund the blacksmith shop, and the Old Time Fiddlers Association, funding the group's scholarship programs.
 
Enjoy the music with beverages and tasty treats provided by the Ely volunteers. Have a picnic in the oak grove. Bring your own wine and sip it in Ely Stage Stop wine glasses that are available for purchase.

There will be the regular monthly raffle near the end of the jam and the opportunity to purchase tickets for a “quilt” raffle that will celebrate a winner later in the year. Those items will be on display in the barn during the jam.

Come early and enjoy the five-years-of-operation celebratory exhibit in the main house. Take a hayride or stroll the barn trail.

Lake County Historical Society’s Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum is located at 9921 State Highway 281 (Soda Bay Road) in Kelseyville, near the Clear Lake Riviera, just north of Highway 29-Kit's Corner.

Current hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. Fiddlers’ Jams occur the first Sunday of every month from noon until 2 p.m. Living History events are held on the fourth Saturday of each month, again, from noon until 2 p.m.

Come join the Lake County Historical Society and become a volunteer at Ely or its sister museum, the Gibson Museum & Cultural Center in Middletown. Applications will be available during the day.
