Swiss Village Harvest Fest

Connect with 19th century Swiss immigrant life at the annual Harvest Fest where daily routines and responsibilities of the past – cheese making, blacksmithing, yarn spinning, basket weaving – are re-created. Enjoy a Swiss brätzeli cookie-making demonstration. Meet a Bernese mountain dog. Talk to Civil War re-enactors, the “Bee Man,” a wheelwright and a sausage maker. Practice your three Rs in a one-room schoolhouse. Also authentic Swiss entertainment - yodeling and alphorns.
