Barb Menghini dishes up a old-fashioned strawberry ice cream sunday for Ed Jasonowicz at last year’s “Music on the Farm.” The 2018 event takes place Tuesday at the Odill homestead, West U.S. 2, Norway.

NORWAY -- The Norway City Band will again present "Music on the Farm" at the historic Odill homestead, West U.S. 2, Norway, on Tuesday.

Activities begin at 6 p.m. when guests will be treated to an old-fashioned ice cream social, with choice of toppings including fresh Pellegrini Farm strawberries. The band concert will follow at 7.

Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs and non-alcoholic beverages if desired. Come and enjoy historic music -- the Norway City Band was founded in 1882 -- in a historic setting. The farm was the home of Norway pioneer Anton Odill, who in the 1870s drove the first iron ore test pit in the city of Norway.

Deciding that mining was not for him, he became an entrepreneur, operating several businesses in the city. His farm was a magnet for thirsty Dickinson County citizens for over 60 years as Anton and his sons produced the famous Odill "soda pop" in multiple flavors right on the current museum property.

There is no charge for the concert, and sundaes are offered for a free will donation.

Starting at /week.
