Come celebrate the arrival of autumn at the Harvest Frolic on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27 and 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. You won't want to miss this experience of 19th-century life on the farm! The event is free and open to the public.
Activities will take place at both the Lincoln and Sargent farms and will include children's crafts, food preservation, and hearth cooking. A number of artisans will be on site demonstrating their crafts including, spinning, pottery, ropemaking, blacksmithing, tinsmithing, embroidery, soapmaking, and many other 19th-century crafts. Enjoy performances from The Unreconstructed String Band, storyteller and dulcimer player Mike Anderson, the Clockwork Clown, a Punch and Judy Show, classic Americana circus performers KB Circus Spectacular, feats of strength with Ancient Celtic Athletes. Go on a nature walk or watch a performance from storyteller Brian "Fox" Ellis (on Sunday only), take in the view from the Grand Camera Obscura, and get your selfie with "President Lincoln." Vintage baseball on Saturday and historic cricket demonstrations on Sunday. Food trucks both days include CZ's Fried Green Tomatoes, Kettle Korn/Shaved Ice, How I Roll Bake Shop, and We-Lik-It ice cream.
