Fall Harvest Festival

Visit historic Newlin Grist Mill on Saturday, October 1, 2016 from 10 AM to 4 PM to experience the site’s annual Fall Harvest Festival. A local favorite, this event provides fun for the whole family! This year’s festival will feature nearly two dozen different demonstrations of historic skills and trades, including blacksmithing, open-hearth cooking, Native American skills, and much more. Listen to music by the Colonial Revelers, learn colonial dancing, have your silhouette made, and try out traditional paper marbling. Many favorite activities from years past will be returning, including pumpkin painting and hayrides. New this year, the Fall Harvest Festival will also feature interactive performances by Tuckers’ Tale Puppet Theatre! Visitors can shop in the festival’s Colonial Market for handmade soaps, 18th-century-style jewelry, colonial games, pumpkins and apples, and cornmeal ground in the site’s 1704 grist mill. Traditionally-made pretzels—baked in the onsite bake oven—and gourmet pastries can also be purchased in the market. The Concordville-Chadd’s Ford Rotary Club’s food truck will be offering food for sale throughout the day, as well. For adult guests, the festival will be hosting a Colonial Tavern from 1 PM to 3 PM, where the Twin Lakes Brewing Company will be on hand to give out samples of their beers. Admission to the Fall Harvest Festival is free for all ages. Parking is $5 per car. Additional costs apply for hayrides and pumpkin painting. Visitors must be 21+ to drink in the tavern.
