COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Historical Society (BCHS) reminds residents that this year’s Reeves Festival, Reeves Festival Celebrates BCHS Centennial, is this Saturday and Sunday, September 11 and 12, at the Henry Breeding Farm in Edinburgh.
The 14th annual event features food trucks, spirits, and many activities for adults and children, including animal interactions, corn shelling and grinding, steam engine rides, spinning, and weaving. Tours of the extensive gardens at the Farm will be offered and there will be fireworks Saturday evening at dusk.
Music is provided by The Tiptonians, The Banister Family Bluegrass Band, and Columbus native Cathy Morris.
The festival highlights the accomplishments of the Reeves family. With more than 100 patents, the family’s inventions changed the way we live today. The vast Reeves collection comprises the largest collection owned by the Historical Society. Several of these items will be on view at the event.
Tickets are free for BCHS members and $10/carload for others and are available at the Breeding Farm on the days of the event. For more information, visit bartholomewhistory.org or call 812-372-3541.
