Antique Agriculture Festival Coming in October to Hunter's Home
PARK HILL, Okla. — The George M. Murrell Home Historic Site, just south of Tahlequah, will be hosting our annual Antique Agriculture Festival on October 4–6, 2019. The festival will feature 19th-century agricultural practices sure to provide fun activities for the whole family.
The three-day event includes ongoing living history demonstrations, entertainment, shopping and food vendors. Hunter's Home, built in 1845, is the last remaining 19th-century plantation in Oklahoma.
“The Antique Agriculture Festival is a showplace for an agricultural heritage that needs to be saved,” said Site Director David Fowler. “The festival will focus on the end of the growing season. We’ll show harvesting and food preparation activities needed to sustain a plantation.”
Visitors are invited to watch demonstrations and participate in hands-on activities over a variety of topics including foodways, domestic skills, trades, animal husbandry and farming. “All of the activities will be performed in the 19th-century manner,” said Fowler.
Admission to the event is $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for students age 6-18. Children 5 and under are free. For more information on the festival, visit www.antiqueag.org or contact Hunter'sl Home at 918-456-2751. The historic site is located at 19479 E. Murrell Road in Park Hill, Okla.
