This season saw over 3,500 guests from 41 states and 10 different countries! Guests were able to view exhibits, listen to period music, participate in children’s programs, engage with re-enactors, and learn about our area’s history and culture through presentations, lectures, activities and more.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this season one of the best yet. Programming for the 2022 season is underway and will continue throughout the winter. We look forward to seeing you again in the spring of 2022! Until then, please enjoy the attached photographs of some of the many events held at the house this year.
