We start our evening chores with the adorable Parade of Chickens, featuring our beloved Scissors the Hen. It's a Homeplace Tradition! Then we say goodnight to the young whippersnappers on the farm, our pigs. Finally, you can help us herd our sheep to the front of the farm... well actually, they already know the way. It's a sheep's world, and we're just living in it. Get up close and personal with the real stars of the farm, our ANIMALS!

An important source of food for the families of the 1850s was the garden. The garden provided a variety of different fruits and vegetables that supplemented the staples they could buy and trade for at the local market. An interpreter will be available today in at least one of the two major food hotspots on our farm, the garden and the kitchen. Say hello and learn how we grew, ate, and preserved our bounty in an era before refrigeration!
