Enjoy a weekend of early American farm fun. See demonstrations of 19th-century farm machinery, then lend a hand, from plowing with oxen (below) to threshing by machine; see the Cider Mill in action; play some games popular with early New Englanders, such as French & English (Tug of War, right).

Experience an old-fashioned agricultural exhibition complete with displays of heirloom vegetables, plus Village-made crafts and textiles.

Enter your home-grown heirloom vegetables or flowers in the Home Gardeners' Exhibit and learn how gardeners in the early 19th century shared their secrets for success.
