19th Century Apple & Cheese Harvest Festival

Bring the whole family to a harvest festival at the Homestead. Listen to live toe-tapping fiddle and accordion music. Meet farm animals—the kind that Justin Morrill would have had on his small 19th-century farm. Make your own cider in an antique press, taste heirloom apples, fine artisan cheeses, Vermont ice cream, and homemade apple pie. Play period games, and hike the lookout trail. Also includes wagon rides, gardens, a basket-making demo, exhibits, an icehouse, and a historic Gothic Revival home.

An added BONUS: A raffle of a traditional handmade basket created by local artisan Jeffrey Gale. The raffle will take place at the Apple and Cheese Festival at 4 pm and Jeffrey will be there from 1-4 to demonstrate this craft.
