Join The Betsy-Tacy Society for the reopening of the Betsy-Tacy Houses for the public tour season and celebrate Maud's birthday in style. Activities include self-guided tours of Betsy’s House (with a Scavenger Hunt for kids!), shopping at Tacy’s House, delicious refreshments, a fun craft project with colored sand, an excerpt from Betsy-Tacy, and a mini concert of songs from the era! We'll wrap up the event by singing "Happy Birthday" to Maud – the beloved writer who taught us all 86 years ago that the BEST present is the present of a friend.
