Step back in time with the Historic Richmond Town this month.
On Oct. 17, see blacksmiths, quilters and even beekeepers at work during the “Old Home Day,” a celebration of the traditional New England lifestyle held at the village and museum complex.
Watch as skills and hand crafts are recreated and demonstrated, from basketmaking and chaircaning to tinsmithing and butter churning, during the day-long fall festival.
In addition to the demonstrations, savor fresh, hot bread baked in Historic Richmond Town’s 200-year-old oven, head to the farm for pumpkin picking, or enjoy a hay ride with the whole family. Though once “Old Home Day” comes to an end, we’re sure you’ll be more than happy to bring the whole gang back home to your 21st century luxuries.
Old Home Day at Historic Richmond Town [441 Clarke Ave. between Tysen Court and St. Patricks Place, (718) 351-1611], Oct. 17 from 11 am-5 pm. For info, visit www.HistoricRichmondTown.org.
