Enjoy a fun-filled celebration of apples and the harvest season with Applefest at Lang Pioneer Village Museum! The Museum’s sweetest and most popular event returns to the historic village on Sunday, October 6 from 10 am to 4 pm. Tour the village by horse-drawn wagon and enjoy the sights, tastes and aromas of autumn and apples. Throughout the village, view a wide variety of historic demonstrations including cider pressing at the Cider Mill, threshing, mattress repair and stuffing, natural dyeing, chair caning, broom making, log hand-hewing, sheep shearing, wood turning by the Peterborough Artisan Centre Wood Turners, spinning by Shepherd Hill Farms, rug hooking by the Northumberland Rug Hookers Guild, and more. View an antique clock and timepiece display brought by the Quinte Timekeepers, and visit the Ayotte Cabin where historic reenactors, the 41st Battalion of Brockville Rifles, 1st Company, will be performing drills and demonstrating military
marching.

Enjoy traditional music performed by Al Kirby, and hear the tale of “1862”, a crankie theatre performed by Glen Caradus. Take a moment to relax and listen to the harvest hymns in the Glen Alda Church. Play a game of apple tic-tac-toe on the Village Green, participate in some traditional schoolyard games, and make an apple craft to take home with you. Don’t forget to visit with the lambs!

If you are feeling hungry, visit the Peterborough County Agricultural Heritage Building which will be selling chili and buns to warm you from the inside out as you enjoy the fall weather in our outdoor courtyard. While in the Courtyard, enjoy harvest dances performed by the Peterborough Scottish Country Dancers. Pick up some traditional fall fair fare from Ben’s Kettle Corn which will be onsite selling kettle corn and candy floss. Enjoy hot or cold apple cider and freshly baked apple treats at the PCAHB and Cheese Factory. There will be bushels of sweet, juicy apples, apple pies,
