Homestead Sunday: Visit the Gardens

In the 1870s, gardens were an important source of food for the farm family. Stop by and learn about Heirloom vegetables and how settlers used herbs. Take some time to visit the Children’s Garden to see what’s growing  and maybe help harvest some vegetables.

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
