WHERE: Historical Farm at Carriage Hill MetroPark |
|
| As the fall harvest approaches, Carriage Hill MetroPark's Historical Farm celebrates the tradition of an 1880's country fair. From agricultural demonstrations to a pie-baking competition, all the sights and sounds of a country fair will be recreated. See various living history talks and demonstrations given to present a picture of our past. Also, watch the sorghum press squeeze the sweet juice from the stalks. The steam from the steam engine boils the juice into sorghum molasses. |
