Saturday, June 4 “Heritage Days at the Museum”
Are you ready to have some fun and learn about heritage arts? Join area artisans at the Ronald Wilder Traditional Arts Center on Saturday, June 4 to see looms, spinning wheels, inkle looms, forges, and other heritage tools in action? Or maybe you would like to see how it feels to throw a shuttle or draft some fiber? The Traditional Arts Center is located in the basement of the Bethel Black History Museum formerly the Bethel AME Church, acfross the street from the Grand River Historical Society, with plenty of on-street parking. There will be opportunities to learn, create and even purchase items from local artisans. Kid’s activities will include tie-dyeing, spindling, and more! And you won’t have to leave the site to find food thanks to Daniel Savage and the Elks who will be cooking up a storm with hot dogs and burgers and cool soda to wash it down. Lemonade will also be for sale – all proceeds going to the Museum to fund upcoming programs. Music and additional exhibits in the Bethel Black History Museum, so bring an instrument and “jam” with local musicians - the acoustics are amazing! Antique vehicles will also be on display as well as new exhibits at the main Museum building including a Jerry Litton exhibit. So bring the whole family on June 4 and celebrate our heritage at the Museum.
