SUMMARY:Cheers Through the Years Bar Crawl
DESCRIPTION:Cheers Through the Years \nFriday\, May 5\, 7-9 p.m. \n$10; 21+ event \nStarts at the Batavia Depot Museum. Check in by 7:30 and pick up a wrist band and map before heading out on the town. \n  \n  \nDelve into Batavia’s resilient past during Preservation Week \nBATAVIA\, IL – Learn about Batavia’s resilient people and places during 2023 Preservation Week\, April 30-May 6. Batavia Depot Museum will host two architecture-focused events\, a downtown bar crawl featuring the city’s oldest buildings and a hidden history trolley tour of storied sites outside downtown. \nPreservation Week highlights the importance of local history and inspires residents to preserve their personal\, family and community collections for future generations. This year’s theme is “Building Resilient Communities.” \nThe museum’s popular “Cheers Through the Years” bar crawl returns on May 5\, highlighting Batavia’s well-preserved downtown structures that now house watering holes such as Sidecar Supper Club & Beer Garden. \nSturdy Shelter Brewing\, a taproom that opened in 2022 with beer brewed on the premises\, joins the tour this year. “Their creations often nod to Batavia history in their names from their Big Woods IPA to their Collider fruited wheat ale\,” Garrett said. Non-alcoholic options will also be offered. \nThe taproom’s building on Shumway Avenue is a perfect example of how a structure evolves over time with adaptive reuse\, Garrett said. It was the city’s Music Hall and Opera House in the 1880s\, hosting concerts\, plays\, public meetings\, special events and even roller skating. Then it housed a print shop\, before becoming a movie theater that closed in 1957. A new owner purchased and renovated the building in 2006. \n“In the 1880s Batavians could meet up with friends and family at the Music Hall for opera\, public meetings and special events. This year\, folks can visit the exact same spot on the bar crawl to enjoy music and a drink. The site has gone through almost 150 years of destruction\, rebuilding\, and repurposing\, but it's still part of our resilient community." \nPreservation Week is presented by the Batavia Depot Museum\, Batavia Historical Society\, Batavia Public Library and Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley. Follow their social media for fun facts\, hidden histories\, local trivia and pop-up experiences all week long. \nFor more information on our Batavia Park District programs and events\, call (630) 879-5235 or visit bataviaparks.org.
