Homestead Sunday: Bountiful Gardens

In the 1870s, gardens were an important source of food for the farm family. Stop by the cabin and see what they are having for supper. Learn about Heirloom vegetables and how settlers used herbs. Help W**d, water and harvest vegetables in the Children’s Garden

Step back in time at CNC's log cabin, timber frame barn and one-room school for a family friendly afternoon at the Homestead Farm and Log Schoolhouse. Weekly themed activities will be available throughout the afternoon. You may get to try your hand at grinding corn, pumping water, writing on a slate board, working in the garden, tilling the field or watering the animals.

The Homestead and Schoolhouse will be open Sundays now through August 24. Find full details including weekly themes and descriptions at www.chippewanaturecenter.org/homestead-sundays.
