THIS OLD FARM DAYS - Saturday & Sunday, September 4 & 5! Join the Butler County Antique Machinery Club, the Friends of Chrisholm & MetroParks of Butler County for this annual two-day event.  The activities include antique tractors, farming demonstrations, vendors and tours of the Augspurger House.  Food will be available.  $2.00 per person.  A valid MetroParks motor vehicle permit is required ($5 daily or $10.00 annual hangtag).  

Between Fences...that's a wrap!                                                    Chrisholm was priviledged to host the Between Fences traveling exhibit exploring how tightly the fence is entwined with American history, politics, industry, and daily life.  The exhibit was offered by the Smithsonian Institute in cooperation with the Ohio Humanities Council.  The Friends of Chrisholm would like to thank everyone involved with the event - the event partners, the many volunteers, and the visitors who joined us during this special program.  Between Fences - Photo Gallery
