Spring on the Homestead

Sunday, May 19 & Monday, May 20 - 10:30am to 4:00pm

Help us open the homestead and welcome spring at the first event of our regular season!

Nestled in the heart of nature, Huble Homestead offers a glimpse into the past, allowing visitors to see how early settlers would have experienced spring. Learn more about the past through our Spring on the Homestead exhibit, take part in heritage demonstrations, and participate in old-fashioned games and the Maypole dance!

Explore the historic site by taking a leisurely stroll around the grounds or opt for a guided tour with our staff at the designated times. Relax in the fresh outdoor air with a picnic or purchase food from the BBQ, then learn about our plans for the heritage garden. Bring your artistic talents and creative flair to Sunday’s scarecrow making competition and build the winning guardian for our summer crop, then treat yourself to candy or a slice of pie in the General Store.

If you're an animal lover, you'll definitely want to join us on Sunday from 12:00 to 2:00 to visit with critters from the PG Mobile Petting Zoo, sponsored by Northern Routes.

Watch Dave Godber of SilverTree Woodworking demonstrate the pole lathe, and make butter and ice cream with our staff on the Sunday and Monday. If you're interested in learning more about cheesemaking, be sure to come out Monday to chat with Tracey Johnson of Cheeseneeds.com as she makes cheese in great outdoors!
