Pioneer Farm Tour

An hour and a half tour of Pioneer Farm. Your tour includes visiting a homestead cabin built in the 1880's and learning about the families who built and lived in it. Doing the chores that pioneer children did in the activity cabin such as: grinding grains, churning butter, scrubbing laundry, and carding wool. You may dress up as pioneers, get your hair curled with a curling iron, and shave with a dulled straight razor.

Doing barn chores includes: gathering eggs, milking, and visiting all the animals. You may even try a jump into the hay pile. Do some work in the blacksmith shop like using the forge, pounding or bending a horse shoe. Move on to the wood shop and pound nails, use a bit and brace to drill, spud bark, saw some wood, and use the draw knife. You'll also visit a replica one room school and your guide will tell you about the rules and punishments for both students and teachers. It is an unforgettable "Hands On" experience.
