Tanner House Independence Day Celebration

Join us at the historic Tanner House Museum as we celebrate Independence Day as we put on an old-fashioned picnic complete with music, magic, a petting zoo, games, house tours, a blueberry-pie-eating contest, and at 1:00 pm, the Ringing of the Bells, first instituted by President Kennedy in the 1960s. Immediately after the bell ringing, which is done by the children present, the Aurora American Legion Band will strike up a patriotic concert. You might want to bring a chair. The picnic is free to attend. The menu includes nominally-priced hot dogs, chips, old-fashioned sodas, and Oberwise ice cream.
