Homestead Sunday: Simple Machines
How did farmers get their chores done on the farm? Stop by and learn how simple machines helped them to complete their many tasks. Visit the toolshed to see levers in action. How many wheels and axles can you find in the kitchen? Explore the gardens to learn how a wedge can be helpful in planting.
Step back in time at CNC's log cabin, timber frame barn and one-room school for a family-friendly afternoon at the Homestead Farm and Log Schoolhouse. Weekly themed activities will be available throughout the afternoon. You may get to try your hand at grinding corn, pumping water, writing on a slate board, working in the garden, tilling the field or watering the animals.
The Homestead and Schoolhouse will be open Sundays in June, July and August. Find full details at www.chippewanaturecenter.org/homestead-sundays
