Farmstead Friday September 2025

September 26 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

 

Join us the 4th Friday of each month from 11:00am – 3:00pm, this May to September to learn about life on the Thompson-Neely Farmstead. In the 18th Century much of Bucks County was cultivated farmland, with a wide variety of activities required to keep them running. From Animal care, to structure maintenance, to harvesting and preserving, each of these programs at the Thompson-Neely Farmstead will cover a different set of tasks that would be performed on the farm, so that you can see and experience what life was like for many people in the years surrounding the Revolution

For September our demonstrators will show how the harvest was preserved for use in the winter months, through drying, pickling salting, etc. This was an important activity to ensure a steady food supply even after the growing season ended for the winter.
