Throughout the year a number of special activities are held, usually on Saturdays, and this tradition continues. A barn dance is June 13, and Heritage Day is June 27. But, there is plenty to do and see at the farm during the week, Bowen said. Milking takes place every day at 10 a.m. There is butter churning, gardening and quilting.
Cooking goes on almost all day long.
On Thursdays and Fridays the loom is set up and volunteers and workers weave rugs. Depending upon the calendar date, workers might be plowing or mowing hay. Later in the summer there is harvesting and threshing. Visitors at the farm are encouraged to see the displays located in the Man and His Bread Museum. There are displays of early farm equipment, household items and tools that were used earlier this century and before.
