Pioneer Day

Come celebrate 61 years of Pioneer Day with us at Waterloo Farm
Museum and Dewey School. Wander the grounds and explore the
farmhouse and numerous outbuildings depicting farm life in the mid-late
1800s. Watch craftsmen and demonstrators showcase their wares and
talents in blacksmithing, weaving, spinning, basketmaking, broom making
to name a few. Try your hand at candle dipping, corn shelling, flint
knapping. Get a molasses cookie baked in the bakehouse and our famous
Waterloo bean soup from concessions. Tap your toes to live music. The
barn will be over-flowing with hand made dried flower arrangements and
decor made from locally gathered materials. Children can make their own
tussie-mussie. Listen to the clip-clop of horses’ hooves while riding in a
hay wagon down a country lane. Visit the farm wagon for edibles and the
gift shop for old time items. The Spinners Flock and Swallowtail Pottery
will be just a few of the many vendors. Dewey School will be open for
tours and a little schoolin’ so stop in.
All this and more Sunday, October 8 from 10am-5pm. See you there!
