Description
The historic orchard of the c. 1664 Jackson House comes alive during this early fall festival. Enjoy children's games and activities, seasonal refreshments, and watch artisans demonstrate their crafts, including spinning and basket making. Help grind apples and press cider. Robert Pothier of First Period Colonial will be doing a timber-framing demonstration alongside staff from Historic New England. Be sure to tour the oldest house in NH and ME, and farm animals from Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm make their yearly visit to Jackson House. The program includes music by the New England Irish Harp Orchestra and performances of American Folk Stories by the New Hampshire Theatre Project, sponsored by Ricci Lumber.
