How did early farm families keep their food fresh without modern refrigeration? Explore the root cellar and visit the cabin to see the many ways food was preserved. Perhaps you will walk away with a few tips and recipes to help you preserve some of your own garden-fresh produce.

Step back in time at CNC's log cabin, timber frame barn and one-room school for a family-friendly afternoon at the Homestead Farm and Log Schoolhouse. Weekly themed activities will be available throughout the afternoon. You may get to try your hand at grinding corn, pumping water, writing on a slate board, working in the garden, tilling the field or watering the animals.

The Homestead and Schoolhouse will be open Sundays in June, July and August. Find full details at www.chippewanaturecenter.org/homestead-sundays
