November Events

Everything But the Oink – November 12, 2022
To keep the meat from spoiling during the curing process, hogs were processed in the coolest, fall months of the year. Lard is rendered to cook, make soap, and medicines. Everyone participated in this annual event, so dress for the weather and join us at the Woodworking Shop for this educational demonstration. The Galloway Homestead will demonstrate soap making throughout the day, and you are welcome to tour the other historic site to witness sausage-making, cooking, and engage in other activities.
