Living History Farm Program Costumed interpreters demonstrate daily activities of the 1870s at Watkins' home and woolen mill.
Activities vary from day to day and occur seven days a week with emphasis on the weekends.
Tours of the historic buildings are also daily and are offered on a rotating schedule. Plan for a full day of family fun this holiday weekend with games, contest and demonstrations of life in the 1870s. Each day will begin with preparations for an Independence Day picnic scheduled for 1 p.m. There will be activities such as gunnysack races, stilt walking and music, plus cooking, clothing and heirloom gardening demonstrations. Each day will end with a game of 1870's rules townball, an early version of baseball.
