The Scottish Home held their 94th annual picnic on Saturday August 7th on the grounds of the Scottish Home. This event, open to the public, is a family favorite and featured many different activities. A tradition for nearly a hundred years, the Scottish Home picnic began as a time for families of our residents to do spring cleaning, yard work and make repairs at the Home. Now the staff of the Home does all of the work and the picnic has become a social event that it not to be missed.
Past Events
On Saturday October 30th The Scottish Home hosted a "Harvest Fair" to kick off a year long celebration of 100 years in North Riverside. Residents, family, and friends, spent the afternoon together enjoying a variety of fall treats, a bonfire, games, and a fortune teller. Gus Nobel, President of the Illinois Saint Andrew Society, gave a brief history of The Scottish Home and presented a plaque to the Home. The plaque lists the names of the original 1910 residents and the current residents of the Scottish Home. It was a perfect fall day and everyone had a great time.
