Cane boil & FIDDLE FEST

This event is held each year on a Saturday in the fall, and combines traditions of giving thanks and fall harvest with old time fiddle music. Join us at the Living History Farm to experience the making and bottling of sugar cane syrup, live string bands, guided nature walks and living history interpreters bringing a country day in 1870 back to life.

Barnyard buddies

Visitors can meet and greet farm animals by helping staff with afternoon feeding on the Living History Farm. This program is free, but the animals love donations of carrots, squash, apples, sweet potatoes and melons. Just make sure to give these items to a staff member and not directly to the animals. Preregistration is required. Sign up here!
