110 Years in Cascade:
One Family's Memories
1 - 2 p.m. March 24 Cascade Christian Church Chapel • Orange Avenue
Bill Bos, a longtime resident and owner of Bos Greenhouse & Farms, a centennial farm still operating in the same location on Spaulding Avenue today, will share family stories and photographs of life in Cascade over the last century as Cascade changed from forests and farms to the suburban community it is today.
Following the presentation Cascade Christian Church chapel, built in 1880, will open its doors to the public, with volunteers available to share details of its history and restoration – including the stained-glass windows commemorating local families.
Museum Open House:
History of the Thornapple

The Cascade Historical Museum (the old township hall) will also be open to the public – featuring a collection of original photographs, artifacts and exhibits about the community's past, including a new exhibit focusing on the Thornapple River.
Refreshments will be provided by the Ada Historical Society. We hope to see you there.
