Homestead Days
Sunday, August 4 & Monday, August 5 - 10:30am to 4:00pm
Step back in time to the historic site’s premier old-fashioned event!
Take a trip to the past on the BC Day long weekend for Huble Homestead’s oldest running event, a two-day extravaganza! Learn more about life on the homestead over a hundred years ago by taking in the sights, sounds, and activities of a bygone era.
Join in for some wholesome fun by taking part in the old-fashioned games and races, put your eating skills to the test in the eating contests, and learn heritage skills through demonstrations. Make ice cream and butter with our staff both days, and watch Dawson in the blacksmith shop! Join us Sunday to learn about Maeven's sourdough journey, and on Monday to learn home remedies with Sylvie, make soap with Allie, and watch our blackpowder shooters aim and fire. Take a guided tour to find out more about the homestead! Bring a picnic or bid on the homemade lunches in the Box Lunch Social, tackle the self-guided treasure hunt, and create some lasting memories as you connect with history!
