Living History Days return to the Southern Oregon Historical Society’s Hanley Farm from 11am-4pm, July 16 and 17, 2016!
A wagon ride will take you back in history. The Cascade Civil War Society will hold an encampment and share their characters and stories with visitors. Fire off the canon if you dare!
Tour the Hanley Home and the Civil War-era barn at the farm. Dress up in costumes and take your vintage picture. Enjoy stories of local pioneers told by Marthanne Dedrick. Plus, vegetable gardening practices of the era will be compared with those used today in our no-till garden at the farm. And there will be a scavenger hunt, as well as heritage games and activities for children. Food featuring specialties from the Hanley gardens will be for sale.
Cost is $8 for adults and $5 for children and SOHS members. House tours are $3. All proceeds will support the Southern Oregon Historical Society.
