New Picnic Tables!

Enjoy lunch or dinner al fresco at our new picnic tables courtesy of Billy Taylor and the Friends of Barclay Farmstead.  As part of his Eagle Scout requirements, Billy planned for and executed the creation of four wooden picnic tables that now reside in the shaded area just west of the farm house.  The Friends supported the project through funding the material cost.  Many thanks for a job well done!

The 2007 - 2008 season of the Farmstead’s award-winning school tour wraps up on Thursday, June 12th.  We will continue offering in-depth tours to local camps on selected dates throughout the summer months.  We were pleased to host nearly 1,500 students each year in our Living History School Program.  If you are a teacher looking for an enriching field trip that is aligned with your curriculum click HERE for more information.
