Many activities
take place upon the grounds of the
R. S. Battles Farmhouse. With workshops
presented on the premises throughout
the year, visitors to the farmhouses
may have the opportunity to step back
in time to the mid 1860s and participate
in different tasks typical for the
Battles family farm. Visitors may
learn to churn butter, bake bread,
weave or spin yarn, quilt, weave baskets,
press flowers, help out with the laundry,
or countless other odd jobs.
