Crops that Southeast Minnesotans grew for their livelihood differed in variety, planting, cultivation, and harvest than those of today. Visitors will see the processes in an era that was far advanced from the pioneer period, but still considered labor intensive and obsolete by today’s modern farming perspective. Demonstrations include, corn harvest & shelling, seed threshing,cider pressing, quilting and pie making in the kitchen. Children can harvest their own pumpkins to take home.
