Barbie exhibit, Gallup house open Saturday afternoon

Bell Tower Festival-goers who want to be out of whatever weather Saturday afternoon brings will have a pair of choices offered by the Greene County Historical Society.

The Gallup House, the 1912 octagonal house that was the childhood home of pollster George Gallup, will be open from 1 to 4 pm. The home is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located at 703 S. Chestnut St.

The award-winning Barbie By the Bells Wonderland display will also be open after the parade until 4 pm. Located in its own building between the Thomas Jefferson Gardens/Welcome Center and the historical museum, Barbie By the Bells features more than 1,000 Barbie dolls and her friends. There is no admission charge, but donations are gratefully accepted.
