Events

Our annual Spring Makers Market returns in 2025! This family-friendly local vendors market features items made, baked, or grown by artisans, craftspeople, makers, and the like from around our community.

Shop local vendors for items such as jewelry and accessories, ceramics, woodworking, textile arts, glass and resin arts, candles, and home decor. Baked goods, craft beverages, and homemade pet treats will also be for sale. Shop flowers at our plant sale in support of West Overton's historic gardens.

Grab a bite to eat from one of the food trucks and enjoy live music by Jay Constable at the Overholt Room, the lower level of the Museum.

West Overton Distilling will be selling cocktails and bottles of rye whiskey outside of the Overholt Room (the Distillery building will be closed).

At the Museum, visit our award-winning exhibition, Forging Ahead and Falling Behind: Industrial Growth in a Rural Community. Please note that the Whiskey Heritage Center in our Museum will not be open on this day.

New for 2025 - Autumn Ridge Farm will have a petting zoo on site for all to enjoy! From 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., meet baby animals like goats and lambs, bunnies, mini pigs, and a pony. Pony rides will be $5 / person. 

Enter for a chance to win a rental of the Overholt Room. Tickets are $10 per entry.
