In addition to live music and dance acts on our outdoor stage, our guests can also see first hand the skills of the past from our traditional art demonstrators, who will be onsite near the Homstead Education Center. Now often considered an art, come see demonstrations of the skills the homsteaders used as part of their daily life out of necessity! These trades include woodcarving, playing and making musical instruments, knitting, quilting, lacemaking, Dutch oven cooking, rope making, and blacksmithing. Visitors can view antique farm equipment that will be displayed and demonstrated throughout the weekend on the historic tallgrass prairie.
