#BetsyTacy2024

Join Us in Celebrating Maud’s Birthday!

To kick off the reopening of the Betsy-Tacy Houses for public tours in May, the BTS will host a birthday party for our beloved author on April 27, 1–4 p.m. We’ve planned so many fun activities, including craft projects, story hour, old-fashioned games, and photo opportunities! Our Shop will be open for browsing and buying, and we’ll have some yummy goodies for our guests.

Notes:

  • We offer tours to the public on either a scheduled or drop-in basis on Saturday afternoons, 1–3 p.m., from May through October. Private tours are also available at other days and times; please contact us to arrange this.

  • Our Saturday open hours are possible because of the generosity of our wonderful volunteers. Want to be part of this fabulous Crowd? We’d love to have you!
