Homesteading
Hours 12 noon - 5 pm
Chair: Tim Button (570) 434-3353
Homesteading is a growing trend throughout the country. Join us in a celebration of our agrarian roots! Modern homesteading families will share their knowledge of beekeeping, cheesemaking, food preservation, livestock husbandry, maple syrup production, gardening, weaving and much more. An exploration of homesteading techniques from the distant past through present day "back to the land" ideals will round out the days events.

Thanks for making 2021 a great year at Old Mill Village!
Memories from 2021 -

Old Mill Village Museum, in the scenic Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania, was founded over 50 years ago to preserve the area's rich heritage. It has become a center of education and history, showcasing the crafts and artifacts of the late 18th through the early 20th centuries.
Established on donated land, buildings of historic and local interest have been moved onto the land, and others have been built to display these treasures of the past. During the Spring, Summer and Autumn seasons, the Village presents special events that bring different aspects of our history and heritage alive.

All this is made possible by the efforts of the Associate Members of Old Mill Village, a local non-profit organization of dedicated volunteers who give of their time and talents to make Old Mill Village a living, working museum, "Where Antiquity Lives"
