Celebrate the harvest and learn about fall on the plantation! There will be presentations throughout the day about our short-staple cotton crops and the harvesting process, the art of wood chopping and fire starting, and our honeybee hives. Talk to beekeepers about the importance of honeybees on the farm! Also learn how 19th century people prepared for winter and see 19th century food preservation techniques in the kitchen and candle making in the cabin. Homeschoolers can also make corn art to keep and start their own farm weather journals. We invite families to make a day of it and bring a picnic lunch, tour the circa 1800 plantation house and outbuildings, and visit rare and endangered breeds of livestock. Admission is $5 per person, ages 4 and under free. No RSVP is required!
