Founders' Day Weekend

June 7-9

10am-4pm

Commemorate the 89th anniversary of the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which started with a meeting on Mother's Day, 1935 in the Gate Lodge between two admitted alcoholics, Bill W. and Dr. Bob. A meeting that was supposed to last minutes lasted hours and became the underpinnings of a movement that continues to help millions worldwide. 

Guests visiting for Founders’ Day Weekend activities receive free admission to the Gate Lodge. In the Gate Lodge, tour the immersive exhibit, Henrietta Seiberling: A Spark for a Movement.

Other Founders' Day Weekend Activities:

  • More activities will be added this spring.
  • Lunch is available for purchase at Molly's Courtyard Cafe.
  • Purchase Gate Lodge memorabilia, including graphic tees from Just a Dad From Akron.
