Peter Wentz Farmstead’s Sheep Shearing Day
April 26 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Free
Experience springtime on a colonial farm at Peter Wentz Farmstead’s Sheep Shearing Day!
Watch the farmers shear sheep to get them ready for the warm weather. Then, follow the “wool to wardrobe” process as living historians demonstrate spinning, weaving, and other textile crafts. Hear about all the various activities that went into running an 18th century farm as you tour the historic house. Check out the sights and smells of an open-hearth cooking demonstration in the Summer Kitchen. Stop by demonstrators’ stalls to learn about important crafts like woodworking, sewing, candle-dipping, and more. Visit the Museum Shop for historically-inspired gifts for all ages.
