Harvest Days October 18, 2008 - October 19, 2008 |
Celebrate harvest time in New England and experience first-hand the traditional harvest practices of bringing in the year?s crops. Help Village farmers dig potatoes, shell corn, pull up root vegetables, and shell beans. Find out how gardeners generations ago saved seed, dried herbs, stored vegetables and fruits in root cellars, and preserved other foods for the winter and spring. Take a turn at plowing with oxen using old-time tools and techniques. Enjoy stunning fall foliage throughout the Village. See a detailed listing of events and activities on Saturday and Sunday. |
