The Country Fair is held every October at Fairview Farm . More than 1500 people turn out each year for a day of old-fashioned activities, demonstrations, and experiences that are unique to country living. Our barn stalls fill with farm animals as if by magic. Sheep herding and terrier races take place on the fields, while a horse-drawn covered wagon gives. In the barnyard, local artisans teach children how to spin whool and work with clay on a pottery wheel.
Scarecrows are dressed, and pumpkins are painted.
The barn complex at Fairview Farm is the site of the annual Country Fair. It houses the Nature Education Classroom and the equipment required to maintain the wildlife preserve. The timber framed barns were a part of the original homestead built in approximately 1865. They are historically significant in understanding the cultural evolution of the local landscape. Stabilization of the barns is of immediate concern due to deteriorating roofs and structural problems.
