In this monthly program held at the farm, children learn about and experience life as it was in late 1800s frontier America: how children and parents provided food, shelter and entertainment for themselves, long before the days of TV, refrigerators, cars and supermarkets. Snacks provided. Visit commongroundfarm.org.
