Homestead Sunday: Celebrate the Coming Harvest

How did early farm families keep their food fresh without modern refrigeration? Explore the root cellar and visit the cabin to see the many ways food was preserved. Perhaps you will walk away with a few tips and recipes to help you preserve some of your own garden-fresh produce!

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.

This is the LAST DAY The Homestead and Schoolhouse will be open for Homestead Sundays this season. Find full details including weekly themes and descriptions at www.chippewanaturecenter.org/homestead-sundays.

FREE | All ages, under 18 w/adult
