Harvest Home Traditional Harvest Festival
September 7, 11am – 5pm
Enjoy cider pressing with apples harvested from the museum’s very own orchard, crafts for the whole family and samples from the period kitchen! Guests are invited to help decorate the hock cart used for the final harvest of the year and witness the crowning of the Harvest King and Queen from amongst the museum’s teen volunteers.
For those with canning spirit, enter the Jam and Jelly Competition. Bring a small jar of your homemade jam or jelly for our judges to taste and see if you can “take the egg” or win the competition. Visitors can also help the museum build its own scarecrow to protect the museum’s gardens and crops through the fall.
