MOLINE, ILLINOIS (October 21, 2024) — Join Gretchen Small, Director of Programs and Collections at Butterworth Center and Deere-Wiman House, as she shares her goal of preserving her family's food culture. No doubt, you remember favorite dishes from your own childhood, and you can use those memories to preserve history through the food traditions that have enriched your family. Genealogy is more than just your family tree and photographs of ancestors. Learn what you can pass on to your descendants about how food enriched your family history.

Come share those memories as Gretchen leads us on a trip to the past to celebrate your family’s food traditions in a new, fun way.

No reservations are needed to attend. The event is funded by the William Butterworth Foundation, manager of both Butterworth Center, 1105 8 Street, Moline, IL 61265, and Deere-Wiman House, 817 11 Avenue, Moline 61265.

No charge for admission. For more information, call (309) 743-2701, or go to ButterworthCenter.
