43RD ANNUAL HISTORICAL CRAFTS and FARM SKILLS FESTIVAL
The Malcolm Blue Historical Crafts and Farmskills Festival is a three-day festival held annually the last weekend of September. As many as 1,500 school school children visit the farm on Friday during School Children’s Day to learn what daily life and work was like in the 19th century. Some of the crafts and skills demonstrated are pottery, basket making, woodworking, blacksmithing, spinning, weaving, soap and candle making and fringe tying.
Farm animals fill the stable; pony and wagon rides are available for the young and young at heart. Folk and country musicians and dancers entertain during the three-day event. In the meadow, Civil War reenactment troops are encamped and steam engines are demonstrated. The festival has become one of the finest intergenerational events in North Carolina.
Hours: Fri. School Children's Day 8:30 AM-4:30 PM, Sat. 10 AM-6 PM, Sun. noon-5 PM.
