Family Fun at the Denison Farm Market in Mystic
The first Family Day will be held at the Denison Farm Market on Sunday, August 22, from 12:00 to 3:00 pm. Sponsored by the Denison Homestead and Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center (DPNC), the afternoon will be filled with fun activities focused on history, the environment, and local agriculture. From craft projects, live music and family nature hikes, to an inside look at the world of bee keeping, there will be a little fun for everyone.
Drawing on the rich history of the Homestead, planned activities include a play area with old fashioned toys and games, a scavenger hunt for children, and a demonstration of herbs used during colonial times. Educators from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center will also lead hikes of the land surrounding the Homestead.
For more information contact the Denison Homestead at 860-536-9248. The farm market is located just beyond the Denison Homestead Museum at 120 Pequotsepos Road. Parking is available adjacent to the market.
