 The awesome 125th anniversary bash of historic McCrae House on June 27th, 2026!  Many adventurous folks dressed up in turn-of-the-century outfits arrived and  came ready for a fun day with music, played croquet, games, and more. They  treated themselves to some tasty food and yummy cakes, strawberries & cream and the exciting raffle and gift basket giveaways. With house tours, tarot readings, and tons of fun, this was an event no one will forget!
