A day bringing you back to the past and the "Good old days"

| The Martin homestead was open for tours, bread was baking in the outside oven, soup was bubbling over an open fire and a group was demonstrating how pork scrapple is made. |
 |
| This was the parking lot - as many horse buggy's as cars |
 |
| Excellent food! |
 |
| tractor parade |
 |
| This machine turns the crank on the ice cream machine! |
 |
| I wondered why so many kids wanted to ride the tractor and wagon, then I realized that they never have this chance - they ride in a horse and buggy everyday. |
 |
| Sand Box for the kids filled with dried corn |
 |
| Hooking the horses up to the threshing machine |
 |
| 3 teams of horses were used as shuttles going to & from the parking lot |
