Discover how the Foster and Woods families may have once celebrated the holiday. Come to The Willows porch at 1:30 PM to honor Armistice Day (now known as Veterans Day).  Tour The Willows to learn how the Fosters spent the holiday. At the Farmhouse, enjoy seasonal music and on the farm, help with husking corn, raking leaves, sawing wood, and see the operation of a gasoline engine. Meet the farm animals, and get to know the Narragansett turkeys during a “Turkey Talk’ presentation by the farmers. In the upper barn, take a turn at square dancing. See a side saddle riding demonstration and learn about equestrian activities once held in the area. At the Visitors Center, make a family-friendly craft to take home.
