    Join us on the Bluff on Saturday, April 19th for our annual Egg hunt and Osterfeuer (Easter fire)!


    The Bluff Schuetzenverein held large Easter celebrations on the Bluff throughout the early 20th century, complete with a Bluff-wide egg hunt. Continue this tradition with us by picnicking, taking in the Bluff views, and partaking in a classic egg hunt. Learn more about early Easter traditions from our living historians at the Kreische house. Stay until sunset to relax by the bonfire (weather permitting).
