Come walk through displays of equipment that soldiers used and see demonstrations of camp life and cooking rations. At this hands-on event, visitors can handle equipment, try on uniforms and taste a little 1860s cooking.

Wool carding, spinning, weaving, knitting, tatting, knotting, sewing, and quilting – a few of the many textile skills that pioneers needed. Come see demonstrations of various textile skills and learn about different quilting patterns. A little historical education can be fun!

Join us for an afternoon of old-timey pickling fun! Cucumbers should be perfectly ripe! The Durant Garden is growing fresh dill this summer for you to use in making your own jar of pickles. We will supply everything you need. One jar of pickles per family, please.
