The spaghetti dinner is an annual event held at the Trotwood Church of the Brethren. There is a charge for the dinner. A separate posting will be done when the final arrangements have been made. The spaghetti sauce is cooked by members of the historical society from a recipe that has been developed over the years. You will not find a better tasting sauce or spaghetti at any other spaghetti dinner. The dinner includes all the spaghetti you can eat, plain and garlic buttered bread, salads and deserts. Come and join the fun. All proceeds from the sale are used to maintain facilities and support different programs offered at the Iams Homestead.

All items are donated by members of the community. Most items are gently used, but, there are a few new items that are donated. We also have many collectibles that will be offered for sale. All proceeds from the sale are used to maintain facilities and support different programs offered at the Iams Homestead.

Come browse items for sale and purchase those “I can’t do without” items you will find. All proceeds from the sale are used to maintain facilities and support different programs offered at the Iams Homestead.
JULY
July 18 Annual Membership Picnic and 5th Annual Texas Style Barbecue held in the Iams Homestead Barn. This is a member’s only event. It is held each year to encourage members to get together and have a good time. Linda (chef) and Claude (helper) usually smoke Boston Butt roasts and brisket and/or sausage as the main course. Potato salad, cole slaw, calico beans, relish trays (usually from Linda’s garden and specialty items prepared just for the BBQ), rolls, variety of drinks, and desserts are also available. There usually is a program of some type and there is always a session of “What is it” where members bring items and the audience try to guess what they are. If you have ever attended the BBQ, you know how good it is. If you have not attended and are a member of the Society, you are encouraged to join. We also have various displays on pegboards of old farm tools, kitchen tools, lanterns, etc. throughout the barn for member to view. For some of use, these items bring back some fond—and not so fond—memories of the past.
AUGUST
Book Sale August 27-29 9AM to 5PM in the Iams Homestead Barn. This is an annual event. The Society sells donated books. Many of these books are in like new condition. Some or collectible and most are just good reading material. There is a variety of books on just about any subject—gardening, cooking, history, religious, novels, romances, scientific, etc. The price is right and you can stock up on reading material for those long winter days. All proceeds from the sale are used to maintain facilities and support different programs offered at the Iams Homestead.
