1775: Spring on the Farmstead

Join us for a captivating journey back in time at Spring on the Farmstead, where we celebrate frontier life in 1775! Experience traditional domestic life around the hearth and home, and learn the timeless craft of baking with guest historian Daniel Sieh. Discover the vital roles women played in farming, gardening, and agriculture, and explore how families managed goats and sheep through our new ‘Animal Husbandry on the Frontier’ initiative.

To mark the launch of this exciting chapter for the Conococheague Institute, we invite the community to a special ribbon-cutting ceremony, accompanied by period fife and drum music.
This immersive event offers a fun, educational experience and a deeper connection to history as the nation commemorates the 250th Anniversary of these momentous events. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity!

Tasty food and drink vendors make this a full day experience, this event is sponsored by the Americana Corner’s Preserving America Partners program, and generous community partners.
