I’m always impressed with the drive and determination of minorities to retain their cultures despite all the pressures dominant groups place on them. Here’s a beautiful example.
“The last American slave ship arrived in Mobile, Alabama, in 1860, despite the illegal importation of slaves. On board were approximately 160 West African individuals who had been captured and enslaved. One of the captives, named Cudjo Lewis, was acutely aware of the potential…”

Emancipation Day Special Features
Fun for the whole family!
Kids will be able to "trick or treat" through-out the farm.
Join the Becker Band at the campfire for some old-time fiddle tunes which were popular in the 1860s. Have a toe-tappin' and partner-swingin' good time!
See the Sepp Walzer’s Fest Band’s musicians with over two hundred years of combined music performance history. The band enjoys bringing good music to people and helping people learn to properly “schunkel!” The band loves seeing people move to this music and hopes to have you humming along to the tunes you recognize.
Watch Dora, Mona, and Lisa (the hogs) "pig-out" on their fall favorite...pumpkins! It should be a smashing good time.
A variety of vendors will be on hand to sell an assortment of goods (to eat and wear) and provide valuable information. Vendors: Gaithersburg Historical Society, Stargazing Farm, MNCPPC, Bread and Beauty... with more to come!
JUST ADDED: We will also have a new QR code Emancipation Tour that will include the Cemetery walk!

Tiny tobacco...tobacco seeds are like grains of sand. If you look closely you can see them on top of the soil. The emerging plants aren’t much bigger...all the more amazing when you think they can eventually grow up to six feet tall!

A few things pigs are thankful for...roasted pumpkin, a warm pile of straw in the barn and that they are not turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Bees have come to Button Farm!
This colony of bees had made their home in the wall of the community center at the Warren Historic Site, which was scheduled to be dismantled as part of a larger restoration project. Jim Fraser and his sons from the Maryland Honey Company removed the colony, nursed it back to health and donated the hive body. Now the bees have a new home at another historic site...Button Farm.

..but before we go there, I want to give a special congratulations to EVERYONE that participated. What is not captured in the list of top finishers are the amazing accomplishments of each and every participant. I know for a fact that this challenge pushed many of you to do more than you might have otherwise...and for that you should feel proud. For me personally, I had a distance goal of 250 miles and I fell short because of a few injuries and life things along the way. And even though I didn't accomplish my distance goal, the challenge still served as a great incentive and reminder for me to stay active. I also received SO MUCH JOY from seeing everyone do so well.
