Blosser Estate Tour to Benefit Heard Club House

A fund-raiser to help refurbish and maintain the 1906 Heard Memorial Club House in Sedalia will be held Sunday, March 22 in the Malta Bend area.

The Henry Blosser Estate Tour is scheduled for Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., at 20400 280th Trail in Saline County (just south of 416 Road, east of Malta Bend and NW of Marshall).

A three-story Swiss horse barn is part of the Second Empire mansion’s property which dates back to 1878. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Before the house and surrounding structures were restored, the Blosser mansion was listed as an endangered historic building in 2014.

The mansion is now completely furnished with both contemporary comforts and period accents. Situated on five aces of peaceful rural terrain seven miles north of Marshall, the estate features a restored guest cottage, fine art, antique furnishings and a huge event barn.

More details on the estate can be found at www.historicstyle.com or the Henry Blosser Estate website.

Tickets on March 22 will be sold at the Blosser event barn after 1 p.m. for $25.
