On Tuesday, June 21, Heritage Farmstead Museum will host a special “Day at the Farm” event. The event – which is sponsored by Credit Union of Texas – will allow guests to tour the farm and enjoy sheep shearing, tractor-driven hay rides, crafts, story time, games of the past, a variety of special demonstrations, and hands-on activities like feeding chickens.

"You are invited to join us for a day at the Farmstead," said Heritage Farmstead Museum Executive Director M'Lou Hyttinen. “Take a step back in time with us, try your hand at stilts or spoon races, explore the farm and enjoy the many fun activities and presentations available at this event!”

The event will also feature a demonstration by the Dallas Weavers Guild. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet the farm’s new ducks and to milk Buttermilk, the farm’s interactive educational display milking cow.

Day at the Farm will take place on Tuesday, June 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pre-purchased online tickets are $8 per child and $5 per adult. Tickets at the door are $10 per child and $5 for adults.

Event sponsor Credit Union of Texas will provide free lunch to all event guests via their Community Grill Food Truck. The lunch menu includes Angus hamburgers and cheeseburgers, 100 percent beef jumbo sausage dogs, assorted chips and bottled water.

This event is also sponsored in part by the City of Plano. The Heritage Farmstead Museum is located at 1900 West 15th Street in Plano. Registration for this event is available at https://www.heritagefarmstead.org/event-list/a-day-at-the-farm-10/ or by calling 972.881.0140.
