The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates are excited to celebrate the arrival of fall with the Homestead’s annual Heritage Day event. In conjunction with this event, we are thrilled to be partnering with the Exeter Friends Meetinghouse for open house tours to commemorate their 300th anniversary. Heritage Day features a variety of eighteenth-century demonstrations, trades, and hands-on activities. These include gunsmithing, blacksmithing, open-hearth cooking, spinning and wool dyeing, quill pen writing, candle dipping, leatherworking, and the apothecary and surgeon. The ever-popular colonial musician Bob Mouland will be returning this year. The event will also feature craft and specialty food vendors as well as fall activities for children like pumpkin painting. In the Boone House, volunteers will be cooking a hearty meal over the hearth, while Bob Mouland treats guests to colonial music in the English parlor. Visitors can also tour the Boone House and spring cellar and learn about the three families who lived there during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Throughout the historic area, visitors can learn about the intricate work of a leatherworker, the detailed work of a gunsmith, and the skillful work of a blacksmith. Make sure to visit the Apothecary presentation featuring a display of period medical instruments and learn about the role of the doctor and surgeon during the eighteenth century. Stop by the colonial fur trader and trapper and learn about the ways European settlers used animal hides and pelts. Volunteers will also be demonstrating wool dyeing, spinning, and quilting, and visitors will have the unique opportunity to tour the three-room Bertolet Log House. In addition to demonstrations and trades, there will be a variety of eighteenth-century hands-on activities for children and adults to enjoy including candle dipping, quill pen writing, and colonial toys and games.
