113th Annual Souvenir Unity Feast
The Wilhelm Bahá'í Properties are one of the oldest and most unique Bahá'í sites in the United States. Built by eminent American Bahá'í Roy Wilhelm, the grounds were blessed by the presence of `Abdu'l-Bahá in 1912. After more than 50 years of imprisonment and exile with his father Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, `Abdu'l-Bahá journeyed to Europe and America where he shared and exemplified the Bahá'í teachings.
For the last 112 years, Bahá'ís and local community members have annually commemorated `Abdu'l-Bahá's 1912 visit to the Wilhelm Properties on the last Saturday of June. This year's 113th Souvenir Unity Feast will be held on Saturday, June 28th, 2025. The day begins at noon and the program will be at 3pm.

Birth of Bahá’u’lláh
Bahá’u’lláh was born in 1817 in Tehran, Iran and established the Bahá’í Faith whose principal teachings are the oneness of humanity, the oneness of religion and the oneness of God.
