There will be a vintage fashion show and summer garden party with clothing from the Victorian era through the 1950s at the Neely Mansion.

The event is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at the Neely Mansion, 12303 Auburn-Black Diamond Road, located just east of the Highway 18 Auburn-Black Diamond Road exit.

The fashion show and garden party are a fundraiser for the historic 1894 Victorian Classic Revival farmhouse built by a child-pioneer who crossed the Oregon Trail as a seven-year-old in 1853.

The Neelys were one of Washington territory’s, and south King County’s, earliest and most influential pioneer families. The house and grounds reflect their legacy as well as that of the ethnic tenant farmers who lived there between 1900 and the 1970s, when local citizens conducted haunted house tours to provide the seed money to begin restoration of the property.

The Neely Mansion is a national, state and King County landmark.

The cost for the program is $10 per person with advance reservations and payment required. Call 253-833-2116 by Thursday.
