The Society’s April 12th meeting will be our annual field trip to Peter Wentz Farmstead for Sheep Shearing Day. Watch the farmers shear the sheep, then stay to learn more about typical spring activities on a colonial farm. For the children there will be colonial toys and games, scarecrow building, puppet shows, and a craft area. Highlights also include open-hearth cooking, farm tours, spinning, colonial music, weaving, and many other historical craft activities. Events begin at 10:00 am and continue till 3:00 pm.
Peter Wentz Farmstead is located in Worcester, PA. Visit their website or checkout their Facebook page for more information. Please note the Peter Wentz Farmstead Society suggests a $2.00 donation per person for all ages.
