Ice Cream Social at the Caretaker’s Cottage

The West Lafayette Public Library Foundation will host a “Pay What You Wish” Ice Cream Social on August 24 from 1-3 at the Caretaker’s Cottage, 1496 N. Salisbury St. in West Lafayette. The event will be outdoors; attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating on the grass.

Donations will support operations of the Cottage, which is leased by the West Lafayette Public Library from the City of West Lafayette. The 1903 Cottage, located in Grand View Cemetery, was purchased by the city and renovated to serve as a local history center open to the public.

The Wabash Valley Youth Symphony Chamber Ensemble will provide entertainment from 1:30- 2:30 pm. A raffle of tickets to area events is also planned.
The Cottage will be open for public viewing throughout the afternoon. Devon Roddel, West Lafayette Public Library Archivist and Historian, will be present to answer questions.

The event is sponsored by Coldwell Banker Shook. There is limited parking in the cemetery, or the public can park on Highland or Carrollton Streets, a short walk from the Cottage. The Cottage is a fully handicap-accessible facility.
