1812 Homestead Open House

This past weekend we opened up the 1812 Homestead for a community Open House. We had about 40 people stop by to make shingles and candles, tour the Inn, taste hearth-baked cornbread, play old-fashioned games, and attend a lesson in the one-roomed schoolhouse. We had a great time, and hope that everyone else did as well! Here's a photo of Master Carpenter Brian showing a visitor how to split a shingle out of a log:


We still have a few events left in our spring season, most notably our Summer Picnic on Sunday, June 14th! We'll have swimming, boating, hiking, games, dinner, and a campfire...if you're interested in attending, e-mail me at programs@pmoec, or just show up that day!
