Our Restoration Specialist has been working on a wicker sleigh that was stored in our Middle Barn before we cleaned it out. We now have it on display just in time for the winter holidays! Come see the wonderful job that was done on the sleigh. Can you find the hole in the basket that was repaired?

During our Historic Encounters Day, you may have seen Jim, one of our super volunteers doing woodworking. If you look behind him, leaning against the wall are a couple of his walking sticks that he has made from wood he collected from Loudoun trees. We now carry his walking sticks and canes in our gift shop.
Our last Historic Encounters Day for 2021 is tomorrow and it is not too late to register. https://heritagefarmmuseum.org/historic-encounters-day

Happy Family Stories Month. Each of our pods not only represent a different time frame of agricultural history in Loudoun County, they also represent a different family who lived in Loudoun County, some of which are still farming, including the Legard family (who have been farming for more than 100 years).

Happy National Fig Week! Most people think of fig as a fruit but it is actually an inverted flower. Fig flowers bloom inside the pear shaped pod. Each flower produces a single, one-seeded, hard-shelled fruit. This is what gives the fig the crunch. So when we each a fig, we are actually eating multiple fruits.
Did you know that Ticonderoga Farms has a fig orchard? During fig season, you can purchase fresh figs at their farm store.
