27th Annual Hallockville Museum Farm Fall Festival |
|
RIVERHEAD, NY -- The Hallockville Museum Farm will be
holding its 26th Annual Fall Festival on September 29th and 30th. Like
last year’s successful 2-day event, this year’s gala will run for an
entire weekend – mostly in an effort to accommodate the growing number
of visitors who come out to experience this unique look into traditional
1800s North Fork farm life. The Festival
will feature over 50 local craftspeople displaying their unique handmade
folk art along with demonstrations of wool spinning, weaving, and
woodcarving. Other crowd-pleasing activities include an antique tractor
pull, hayrides, pony rides, food, music, and an old-fashioned storyteller.
And, this year, some of the East End’s premier wineries will be offering
tastings and sales of their award-winning wines. Festival hours are 10-5 each day. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children and seniors. A special family pass is available for $18. Plan ahead and save money by reserving no-obligation discount tickets online. Go to www.hallockville.com to reserve tickets, then just pick them up at the gate. Hallockville Museum Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. It consists of 28 acres of farmland, three residences and two barns dating back to the 1800s, and numerous outbuildings. Located at 6038 Sound Avenue in Riverhead, the facility is open Tuesday to Saturday 11:00 to 4:00 and Sunday from Noon to 3:00. Guided tours of the property are available for $7.00 for adults, $4.00 for children and seniors. Children under 6 are admitted free. Visitors are welcome to walk around the farm at no charge.
