 Storytime Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. Your little bookworm will journey through captivating tales and exciting adventures. This October, we explore shapes with Tim Hopgood’s Walter’s Wonderful Web.

 Harvest DaySaturday, October 7, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Bring your family out for a full day of exploration and autumn-time treats at Harvest Day! Visit the fall market where local farmers will offer their harvest best: pumpkins, apples, fall bouquets, and more. Enjoy free family fun, including old-school lawn games, a petting zoo, horse and pony rides, and plenty of photo ops. Guests can explore the outdoors and – free of charge during Harvest Day – peek inside the historic home of Edsel and Eleanor Ford, strolling the first floor. Walking tours are family-friendly, allowing you to uncover the story of Ford House at your own pace. Harvest Day is on Saturday, October 7, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Donuts and cider from Blake’s are available, but we recommend purchasing in advance as they always sell out! |
