Rituals of Spring
Saturday, May 15, 2010 10 am-5 pm
Join us in readying the farmsteads for the growing season. See draft horses plow the croplands and learn about the importance of sorghum as you observe its planting. Watch wool go from fleece to fiber as you see how stock dogs herd sheep, the sheep are hand sheared, and the wool is carded, spun and dyed. Help the historic farmers assemble an antique sawmill. Plant a little history in your backyard with something from our heirloom plant sale.
View a one-minute video about the the Rituals of Spring event on YouTube, and visit Old World Wisconsin's new YouTube channel.
