Corn Cracking and Processing*
Every ½ hour throughout the day Saturday and Sunday.
Try your hand at shelling corn then watch your corn as it runs
through a mill and other early farm implements to become livestock
and human feed. Take a hand full to feed the animals in the petting
zoo.
Petting Zoo*
Open all day Saturday and Sunday.
Meet some of the domestic creatures that make a farm a farm.
Rope Making
Every Saturday and Sunday.
Rope was a valuable item used on the farm. Sit high up in the saddle
while making your jump rope the old fashioned way.
Make a Bird Feeder*
Every Saturday and Sunday.
Wood was in short supply on the Grand Prairie and lumber was recycled
time and time again to build new houses, sheds and barns. Learn
to use an early blacksmiths drill to make a feeder for the birds
and see various other ways wood was cut on the farm.
Butterprint Prairie Museum*
Open all day Saturday and Sunday.
Our museum was rescued from the bulldozer of development. Once a
house on the Gross Farm, its new home is on the Butterprint prairie.
We are currently bringing it back to its 1910 charm when electricity
first came to the area.
Scarecrow Corn Maze*
Open all day Saturday and Sunday.
Every year our corn maze is put in a different location with a different
maze pattern. The thrill of having huge stalks of corn towering
over you with an uncertainty as to where you are going makes activities
such as this an opportunity for real fun!
Hayrides*
Open all day Saturday and Sunday.
Our fleet of vintage tractors spark back to life as the hay wagon
leaves on a journey through the fields to find the patch of orange
globes called pumpkins. You’ll feel like you’re in a
Norman Rockwell picture. Don’t forget to bring your camera!
