We will celebrate all that is good about an old-fashioned country fair with activities that include living history demonstrations of open hearth cooking, spinning, weaving, wood turning, blacksmithing and there will be livestock with cows, chickens, and goats. Popular activities include historical games like Farmer in the Cove and the Ladies Skillet Throw.  Farmer in the Cove is a hands-on experience for children to learn the chores of a typical farm family in the 19th century.  Some of the ‘chores’ include picking apples, gathering eggs, sweeping the cabin porch, doing laundry by hand, corn shelling, and planting crops.

Free family Fun event demonstrations, museum tours, arts and crafts, model railroad, music and more.

We're offering our popular Old Town Tour. It's a walking tour that takes participants back in time to the days of Townsend's Little River Railroad & Lumber Company. The walk gives participants a snapshot of how life in Townsend was years ago. The tour is led by Don Headrick, lifetime resident of Townsend, and is free. It begins at 10:30 A.M. and takes about an hour and fifteen minutes. Hope you can come and join us for this walk back into the past. To join the tour line up near the gift shop porch steps by 10:30.
