Calendar of Events

Unfortunately our facility was closed to the public for the 2020 season but we look forward to reopening in the summer of 2021. We are adapting all of our regular events with a focus on virtual delivery and outdoor, open air activities.  Over the next few months we will be dedicating time towards making our museum and gift shops' entire collections accessible online. As the warmer months approach we look forward to sharing some of our other ongoing community projects via social media, follow along with us as we adapt and grow!  facebook.com/AvonRiverHeritage
