On Saturday, April 25 from 10am to 4pm, watch as the Thompson-Neely sheep are shorn of their wool and tour the grist mill at this family-friendly event. This limited event will include a trip to the barn for a hand shearing presentation as well as period demonstrations and tours of our historical Grist Mill.  From there, follow the Colonial process of washing and carding the wool and spinning it into yarn.

Shearings are held every hour, and mill tours are held on the half hour.

Pre-registration is required. This is “pay as you wish” event, and limited to 150 people, the recommended fee is $7 per person.
