SUMMARY:45th Annual Mill Road Thresherman
DESCRIPTION:The Mill Road Thresherman Association is a group of men and women whose goal is to preserve and demonstrate farming as our grand-fathers and great- grandfathers knew it. We strive to preserve not only the equipment\, but also the techniques those old farmers utilized to plant\, harvest\, and process their crops. \nThe annual Mill Road Thresherman’s show is a place where families can come to enjoy the sights and sounds of farming’s past. Not only the thumps and grinds of old equipment but also the clank of a horse harness\, the whish of a spinning wheel\, or the sounds of bluegrass filtering over the grounds. \nBest of all is the laughter of children\, as they hunt through the straw stack treasure hunt\, participate in the pedal pull\, or walk the grounds with grandpa checking off items for the scavenger hunt. \n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission\n$8 per day\n$16 per weekend gate pass.\nFree entry when presenting you MRTA Membership card.\nKids under 13 free with Paid Adult. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Contact:\ninfo@millroadthresherman.org | MillRoadThresherman.org | Facebook @ Mill Road Thresherman \n
