View a butterfly habitat, visit with the PA Honey Queen, see old farm implements and hear a street organ played. Learn about native foods – pawpaws, persimmons, hickory and shagbark hickory nuts and sassafras.
Visit Heckton Church throughout the day to enjoy casual musical offerings, Saint Thomas Dulcimer Society 12 – 2p.m.. View antique tractors, a 1947 Mac fire engine and an antique hammermill from private collections.
Archaeologists from the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission will be excavating in the side yard of the Mansion to find the 1750s Fort at Hunter’s Mill.
