The City of Haysville and the Haysville Historic Committee are proud to
announce the grand opening of the Wire House Art Gallery. The celebration will be held
April 19, 2008 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and will feature artwork by the Campus
High School Seniors. The gallery, located at 209 S. Hays, will be open on Tuesdays from
4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to coincide with the Hometown Market. New work from local
artists will be rotated once a month.
The house was built in the early 1900’s and was named after the Wire Family, who lived
in it for quite some time. The home was saved and moved to the Historic District after
the tornado destroyed much of what had stood in the district. It is one of the only original
homes from that time period that still remains.
The City and the Historic Committee have worked hard to create and grow the area, with
improvements like the new Haysville Library, Hometown Market, Historic Gazebo and
now the Wire House Art Gallery. Program Coordinator Kelsey Andreas stated she is
“Extremely excited about all the upcoming events taking place in the Historic District
and hopes the community will come out and support the growth of this unique area.”
