Fall Festival of Heritage Crafts October 4, 2009

The rich 300-year heritage of the Great Road Historic District is celebrated through the sights, sounds, and traditional crafts of the 18th and 19th centuries, all done at three historic sites. Listen to the blacksmith's anvil ring, watch the spinning and weaving of wool, learn about a variety of heritage crafts from traditional tradesmen, hear old time melodies performed on antique dulcimers, savor the warm apple crisp and cider, and herald in the autumn season along one of the country's oldest roadways. Tour the historic home with guides in period costume and visit the blacksmith shop next door. More colonial crafts offered down the street at the stone-ender 1693 Eleazer Arnold House. A perfect family outing.
