Get Out! And Take a Trip Back in Time to the Days of the Old Grist Mill - Saturday, Oct 22, 10am-4pm

 

by Peggy Robin

 

Friends of Peirce Mill, https://www.friendsofpeircemill.org/,  is hosting its popular fall festival for the first time since 2019.

 

Activities will include a blacksmithing demonstration and a visit from Dr. Stonestreet, who will show how milling injuries were treated in the 19th century. There will be plenty of hands-on activities, including rope making and children’s crafts. And a traditional four-piece band will keep your toes tapping while you enjoy a fall day in beautiful Rock Creek Park.

 

And it's FREE!
