Today, Roscoe Village has become an important historical destination. The June 1990 issue of Early American Life names Roscoe Village as one of the 20 best places to discover American history. As one of the few places in North America that specifically celebrates the life and times of the early and middle 19th Century, Roscoe Village strives to preserve and replicate a way of life in America at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Exhibits, sales, and workshops are held, along with jam sessions and the Mid-Eastern Regional Dulcimer Championships. This festival of fun and games offers games and activities for the young and young at heart.
Refreshments are available.
This late August festival is highlighted by a corn roast, fiddlers' contest, and juried arts and crafts show. Highlights include such old-fashioned activities as cornhusking contests, spelling bees, a hog calling contest, and a pie baking contest. See the apples simmered in large copper kettles over open wood fires and enjoy the music, entertainment, and juried arts and crafts show.
