Thank you to everyone who turned out for Bluegrass on the Farm last weekend!

Here's another opportunity to spend the day "on the farm"!

Join us at the Agricultural History Farm Park in Derwood, MD on October 1st for a fall celebration we are calling Fall on the Farm. The celebration features delicious food for sale, scarecrow making ($), corn shelling, hayrides, an old-time sawmill demonstration, and woodworkers. The Tool Museum will be open and we hope to have some demos by our resident blacksmith. Lots of fun for the entire family so come see the animals and spend some time at the farm on October 1st! Leashed pets welcome.
