Looking for fun and educational programs that you can enjoy with your children or grandchildren this summer?

The Butler County Historical Society will be offering three free programs, designed to educate and entertain all generations.

All programs will begin at 9:30 a.m. and will last approximately two hours.

• On Saturday, June 6, 2015 we will be exploring the history of chocolate. Find out where cocoa trees are grown, how chocolate is processed and trace the history of chocolate from the time on the early explorers of the Americas up to today. Of course, there will be taste testing!
• Saturday, July 11 will feature Greg Courtney exploring fossils in your backyard. Find out why there are so many fossils in Butler County and learn to identify what you have found. Weather permitting, there may be a fossil hunt!
• Saturday, August 8 we will be exploring the Native American cultures that called Butler County home. We will look at various artifacts that tell us about how they lived, including arrow heads and cooking utensils. We will also “meet” some of the famous Native Americans from the area.
