organizations will be on hand to provide information about their
missions and events.
This is an exciting opportunity to learn more about the rich cultural

and will be ready to answer your history questions! There will also
be a scavenger hunt for children. History Day will be included in
the regular admission for farm tours. Admission is $10 for adults

Visitors to the farm will be treated to guided tours of the farmhouse,
barn and other facilities of a working 1800s farm with our costumed

how different life was for children in the 19th century.
This is a great family event for all ages!

for Summer
Season
June 26, Sat.: "A Summer
Garden Party"
Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is hosting our second
Summer Garden Party from 10:00 to 4:00 (Farm open
'til 5). Visitors coming to the farm for the historic tour will
also have a chance to involve themselves in a variety of garden-related
activities. Learn about a typical Pennsylvania German kitchen garden
and how to care for it. Sit down with a gardener for a question
and answer session, get help with garden plans or tips on helpful
gardening techniques. This year we will feature demonstrations on
culinary and medicinal herbs from the garden and will discuss edible
and medicinal plants in the wild. At the outdoor brick bake oven
herb breads will be baked and samples shared.
In the Tea Tent, for a small additional fee,
folks can set a spell and partake in scones and herbal tea while
getting a lesson in proper etiquette from our dear, old Aunties.
There will be a special hands-on craft area for the younger ones
to enjoy while parents have their fun.
What better way to open Quiet Valley’s Summer Tour Season than
to spend some time in the gardens. This is the perfect opportunity
for beginning gardeners all the way through the experienced “green
thumbs” to explore the world of growing useful and beautiful plants.
Tours of the garden will be given throughout the day along with
tours of the historic buildings at Quiet Valley which was settled
in the late 1700s.
This highlight program is rain or shine, under tents. Admission
is Adults $10.00 & Children 3-12 $5.00 and includes both the
historic farm tour and Summer Garden Party.
