TROTWOOD-MADISON HISTORICAL SOCIETY 24TH ANNUAL IAMS HOMESTEAD PIONEER HARVEST FEST

 

24th Annual
Iams Homestead Pioneer Harvest Fest
349 S. Broadway. Trotwood, OH
October 7, 2023

October is the 10th month of the year and according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, October is a great time for stargazing. October’s full Moon, known as the Hunter’s Moon, arrives on Saturday, October 28. With the autumnal equinox in late September, foliage season has officially begun across much of the United States.

 Along with fall’s arrival come the thoughts of harvest, crisp apples, cider and pumpkins and Halloween.

 Harvest Fest this year is Saturday, October 7 so be sure and make note on your calendar. With the thoughts of harvest and cool crisp days, think about farmers with their tractors in the field harvesting crops and the sound of the engines and clank of machinery. You, too can hear the sounds and see the tractors and machinery at Iams Pioneer Harvest Fest.

 There will be Displays and Activities in the Barn, tobacco growing and information in the field, corn binding, and the husker/shredder demo.

 Not to forget, there will be open fire kettle chili, hot dogs, soft drinks, water and coffee. Donations are taken for the food and beverages. I have been told there is a strong possibility we’ll have pumpkin pie again this year so be sure and check it out.

The Iams Homestead will be open with new Trotwood displays so feel free to browse at your leisure. 

The Country Store will again be open for one-of-a-kind selections of wreaths, Halloween décor, antiquities and vintage pieces. Dinnerware, glassware and that one special plate, bowl or goblet you need to complete your Thanksgiving table.

 It’s going to be a great day in Trotwood.

Hours are from 10 AM-5 PM
Admission is Free
Purchase of food by donation
