Visitors are invited to try their hand at several of the activities. Gardens are on display. Music is incorporated into the experience by live, local musicians. Food, drinks, bathrooms, and a shaded Pavilion are also provided. The museum will be making apple butter at this event and selling it there at the farm. Come on out, grab a chair and sit with them as they make apple butter. There are now many types of animals at the Museum, visit with the Heritage Sheep, pigs, cows, donkey and oxen!

This event is free to the public and is joined with our friends from the The Art Council of the Twin Counties event, Stories in Stitch, Quilt show! The sight of colorful quilts flying through the pastures of the Farm Museum is an experience not soon forgotten. Area quilters bring their finest efforts for display along with the stories that are part of the quilts. Visitors enjoy the stories and the results of hours of labor that the quilts represent. Prizes are given and many of the quilts are offered for sale.
