Each year for Harvest Festival we select a theme that falls in line with our mission as a living history museum and corresponding presentations are developed.
Traditional skills demonstrations such as spinning and weaving, cooking in Dutch ovens, rye straw crafts, apple butter making, candle dipping and many more take place across the farm. Horse and wagon rides and pony rides are also available for a small fee.
Interactive program in the 1893 one-room schoolhouse. Everyone is welcome to attend, but even adults are considered school students in this program, so you best pay attention before the Schoolmarm makes an example of you.
Children’s Heritage area for the K-4th set with various crafts and activities, for the little ones there’s a Pumpkin Patch for pumpkin decorating, and Children’s Games for all the young folk.
Everlastings- halo headbands, bunches and baskets are made with our very own dried flowers. In addition, the God’s Half Acre stand sells our own handmade jellies, jams, pickles, and farm fresh produce.
Our Gift Shop and our Trading Post feature wonderful handmade items made by our craftsman.
Please note that regular tours of house and cabin are not conducted during the Festival.
