"This was plan B to a planned day with the grandkids yet soon we converted it to PLAN A. I called on the phone to ask about the schedule and Terry told us to come and enjoy the outside as they were seeing up for Halloween. We got there and met Terry and Carrie. Terry was awesome. She stopped her decorating and took us through the museum buildings. She was so pleasant and energetic with all the related stories. We all had a great time. The grandkids loved it since a a retired teacher, Terry believed in hands on. Did I mention the apples and raspberries? I recommend."

"Hey, are you looking for a Farmer’s market? This is one of my favorite places during the fall! If any of you came to heritage days this is the place where the farmers market is held. All of the vegetables and fruits are grown on site. No chemicals are used. If you saw the broom maker at Heritage days, that is our very own Wendell he is in charge of the gardens. All of the vegetables and fruits are heritage. Something that your grandma or grandpa may have brought over when they came. We are open until October or Frost. Check out my photos of some of the vegetables! But don’t take my word for it check it out yourself! Can’t wait to see ya!"
