Fall Harvest Festival Comes to Roper Mountain Science Center on November 12


Get ready for a day of family fun at Roper Mountain Science Center! On November 12, the Living History Farm will be filled with artisans, musicians, and demonstrations of life from the 1800's. The Fall Harvest Festival begins at 9AM and lasts until 2:30PM.

Activities will include draft horse plowing, cow milking, corn shucking, shelling, and grilling, and gourd crafts. Revolutionary War re-enactors will be on hand to make visitors feel that they really have returned in time. Kids can see farm animals, hear Appalachian music, and see Master Gardeners, artists, and artisans at work.

Come to watch woodworking, basketry, broom- and candle-making, blacksmithing, and much, much more!

Roper Mountain Science Center exists because of a unique partnership of public ownership, corporate sponsorship, private support, and volunteers. The primary mission of the center is to foster enhanced learning and growth opportunities through educational excellence and high quality instructional programs for students, teachers, and the general public. Science enrichment programs are presented in an exciting and entertaining manner that makes learning fun.
