Summer Harvest

There’s no better way to understand life in the colonial period than to relive it yourself! Centuries ago, the calendar year revolved completely around the harvest. Today, our own wheat is ready to cut and we need all hands on deck! Colonial reenactors will guide us through the laborious but oh-so-rewarding processes of the harvest. From cutting to gleaning to harvesting, activities will be carefully assigned based on age and ability. Admission Free; Donations Greatly Appreciated
