Muster Field Farm Museum in North Sutton will host its annual Farm Days celebration this year on Saturday and Sunday, August 23 and 24. Held at the farm on Harvey Road, the festivities include tractor- and horse-drawn hayrides, a kiddie tractor pull, and many demonstrations of traditional farming skills and crafts. On display all weekend will be many antique tractors, engines, and a working sawmill.
New this year, Toby Locke of Andover will be fashioning hand-hewn beams to be used in the construction of an old-fashioned swing set. Children will be encouraged to watch and participate, then enjoy the finished product.
Children can also try their hand at candle making, ice cream churning, blacksmithing, stone splitting, and stilt walking, if they dare.
On Saturday, there will be alpacas on display, a cow-flop bingo, and a roast beef dinner in the evening.
On Sunday, there will be a hearty breakfast served, a midday square dance, and a 4H oxen show.
Both days feature a grand parade at 3 PM.
Visitors to Farm Days are encouraged to explore all the farm buildings and enjoy the 250 acres of gardens, farm, and forest land.
