Family Day Photos

Festivals celebrating the arrival of spring date back to ancient Rome and Medieval England. Our celebration, like Medieval English festivities, will feature a maypole and maypole dancing. Children and adults will be invited to take a red or white streamer and a turn dancing around the maypole. Maypole maven, Sue Dupre, returns for a second year to lead the fun and guide dancers in weaving complex patterns around the festive pole. In addition, inspired by May Day tradition, children will be able to make a flower or paper crown and crown themselves May queen or king of our festival. The event will also include a colorful pinwheel craft, games, and shopping for penny candy in our general store.

The highlight of the day will be the authentic Morris dancing by the Princeton-based Millstone River Morris Dancers. The troupe will perform traditional handkerchief and stick dances inspired by those performed at seasonal celebrations for the changing seasons in ancient and medieval England and Scotland. The renowned troupe performs internationally and across the United States, including at the Smithsonian Institution.

It’s an event you and your family won’t want to miss!

Stickley Kids Summer Day Camps

Hayrides, apple cider pressing, butter churning, pumpkin painting, and more will await families at our upcoming Fall Harvest Family Day on Saturday, September 20 from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. Plans are underway for this special event featuring activities that will give visitors a glimpse into farm life from the early 1900s. Fall Harvest Family Day is the final Family Day of 2008. If you haven’t experienced a Family Day this past year, be sure to mark your calendar. Activities are planned with children in mind, but old-fashioned fun doesn’t have an age limit. Guests of any age are invited to take a turn at the games table, join the hayride, shop for penny candy or simply stroll the grounds under the turning leaves. Craftsman Farms is a perfect place to spend a fall afternoon!
