Jim is working hard to finalize his presentation.
He's culled great old photos from 1976 and the celebrations we had for the bicentennial here in Butler County.
This year is the 250th anniversary of the United States. We hope you come out on June 29th to support the Butler County Historical Society and Jim. As always, this program is free to the public and we'll have free bottled water and kolache for our guests.

Please put Monday, June 29th on your calendars!
