The Heritage Village inside a local park had a Harvest Festival the weekend of Sept. 22-23. We decided to go on Sunday and it turned out to be a beautiful day for it. We had so much fun touring through the village and participating in some of the activities. All of the buildings in this village are authentic buildings that were brought in from other locations to preserve them and allow visitors to tour through them.
Inside the tepee, we got to see and touch many different kinds of animal horns, antlers, shells, hide and fur, including skunk!
Outside the tepee, we learned how to start a primitive fire...
Making homemade applesauce...
Painting pumpkins...
The Print Shop...
The General Store...
.Can you imagine taking a bath in that tub?
The doctor's office...
This is the waiting room at the doctor's office...
This schoolhouse was recently brought in. It isn't ready for tours yet...
The Church...
Village Home...
The kitchen was in another building...
This was a wooden gymnast toy that kids got to play with while touring through the village...
Coin hunt in the hay...
I don't know who this girl is, but she was good at twirling that hoop with the stick!
Weaving... Love the hands-on activities!
Train Station...
Indian Dance...
The village is in need of volunteers and we would love to help out. I may get more information about it to see if it's doable. They are having a Halloween Haunt and a Christmas Walk, both of which we want to go to. Then, in the spring, they have a Civil War weekend that will probably fall right around the time we will be learning about the Civil War. The village and museum also has various activities and displays throughout the year. Since there is so much to offer, we got a family pass so we can come and go as we please!
