It's a Family Thing! Join us for this FREE family-friendly event at the Deere homes of Butterworth Center & Deere-Wiman House. It's a Family Thing! puts a focus on family history – yours and the Deere Family - at this activity packed afternoon.
• Explore and discover the family who lived on the edge of the frontier through paintings and live historical figures making a local connection to the American Revolution through our digital scavenger hunt. Finish it and win swag! Brought to you by QC PastPort!
• Get answers from local experts on how to care for that uniquely weird family heirloom or that old photo of great so-and-so that you just can’t throw away.
• Go underground and explore the secret tunnel at Butterworth Center used by staff.
• Visit community organizations for free giveaways, fun activities and really cool antique cars. Enjoy free Olde Town sugar cookies at the cookie decorating station with a cup of java.
• Hang-out in the Family Zone with games, including corn-hole bingo.
• Listen to live, local musicians (see below) throughout the day.
•Eat and drink often from food trucks (see below), including Bent River serving local craft beer.
Help us celebrate the semiquincentennial or 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation with food trucks, live music, lawn games, selfies, tunnel tours, and loads of family-friendly activities!
