Step back in time and learn what it was like to live, work and play in Roswell in the mid-1800s. Roswell’s Historic Museum Home, Smith Plantation, is celebrating Fall Farm Days on Saturday Oct. 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Activities and exhibits will be available for the whole family and include living history, blacksmithing, chair caning, weaving, rug hooking and open hearth cooking. You can even learn how to square dance. The Wheels Around Square Dancers, complete with a caller, will perform and offer instruction for anyone who wants to learn.
Kids can play period games, enjoy the Barnyard Friends Petting Zoo, and take a wagon ride. They can even pan for gold! Gold and gem panning will be available for $5 and participants will be able to take their treasures home!
The Roswell Garden Club will also be providing games, crafts and will show visitors how to build a scarecrow.
If you have never attended Fall Farm Days, make it a priority this year! There is something for everyone. You and your family are sure to have a fun and educational experience. Fall Farm Days at Smith Plantation is free to the public.
