Connect with 19th century Swiss immigrant life at the annual Harvest Fest at the Swiss Historical Village & Museum on Sunday, October 9th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., where daily routines and responsibilities of the past – cheese making, blacksmithing, yarn spinning, basket weaving – are re-created. Enjoy a Swiss Brätzeli cookie-making demonstration. Talk to Civil War re-enactors, the “Bee Man,” a wheelwright and a sausage maker. (You can even buy their products!) For those of you who are feeling ambitious, practice your three Rs in a one-room schoolhouse. After all that work, relax and enjoy some live music on their picturesque grounds. Don’t forget to give the Bernese Mountain Dog a pat before you leave!
A special reduced admission of $5 for adults and $3 for children will be charged during Harvest Fest.
Owned and operated by the non-profit New Glarus Historical Society, the Swiss Historical Village & Museum is located at 612 7th Avenue. Please visit their website at http://www.swisshistoricalvillage.org. Many thanks to all the volunteers who make this annual event such a success.
