A Mountain Farm Celebration will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hardman Farm State Historic Site on Saturday, Oct.26.

Enjoy the feel of an old-fashioned country fair set in the beautiful Nacoochee Valley, surrounded by the colors of the season. Hands-on pioneer skills exhibits, traditional craft vendors, local authors and historians, and apple cider from a hand-cranked press are just a few of the experiences you can expect. Learn to make candles, butter, and wash with a wash board. Try your luck in the potato sack race or old-fashioned games. Enjoy lunch and treats as you listen to mountain music with your neighbors.

The Nichols-Hunnicutt-Hardman Mansion will be open for self-guided tours of the first floor. Grounds admission fee: $6 per person. Children under 6 are free.

(Note: In the Oct. 10, 2019, issue of the White County News, this event was erroneously listed as an Oct. 19 fall celebration at Hardman Farm.)
