A Day on the Homestead: Living History and Garden Magic
What can old homesteading traditions teach us about food security, health, and resilience today? At Stone and Stump Homestead, visitors step into the seasonal cycles that once shaped everyday life in early New England. Hands-on activities like candle dipping, animal care, and herbal craft invite participation in the rhythms that once met daily needs with nearby resources. Learn how compost once fed gardens before trash bins, how herbs supported wellness without a pharmacy, and how storytelling carried practical knowledge across generations. These skills reveal not just the past but a pathway to reconnect with land, season, and community.
