Pioneer Apple Fest

10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Join the Lynn-Heidelberg Historical Society for their annual Pioneer Apple Fest when they recreate local history in their historic buildings with free pioneer-style demonstrations (i.e. rifle making, butter churning, iron forging, a working printing press, a potter's wheel,  quilting, and more). Experience hands-on events such as calligraphy pie crust making, and other early frontier crafts.

They have an apple pie contest with cash prizes, kids' crafts and face painting, live farm animals, pioneer sausage stew cooked over a fire in Fort Everett and hot cider and apple dumplings in the Zeisloff Cabin. They will have various makers and food vendors throughout Ontelaunee Park. Please check their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LHTHS/) and website (https://www.lynnheidelberg.org/) for more information.
