Wheatland Music Organization, Inc. is based near Remus, Michigan.  The charitable and educational nonprofit organization has grown from offering a single event in 1974, to offering activities year-round, to meet its mission of preserving and presenting the traditional arts. Traditional arts are considered those learned person to person, passed from generation to the next, and influenced by culture, family, ethnicity, and era.
