Harvest Festival & Barn Raising

We end our 2024 season with a bang – come help us raise a model barn to learn how post & beam buildings like Old Fort Johnson are built. Barn raisings begin at 11:30 and 2:30. We’ll also be making fresh apple cider and baking goodies in the outdoor bake oven all day long. Admission is by donation – all the money raised today will go towards our match for a grant to replace our roof next year.
