About 100 people visited the Rentschler Farm Museum on a warm Sunday afternoon in Saline.

"It's been a good, steady turnout," said Bob Lane, who dutifully clicked every time a person, family or friends entered the property to tour the museum.

One of the most popular attractions for kids was the table where they painted pumpkins.

Meanwhile, members of the Saline Fiddlers plucked, strummed and sawed their hearts out for the appreciative audience.

Volunteers provided donuts and cider from Coleman's Farm.

Wilma Armbruster Trachet and Elaine Masters showed off their quits in front of the historic photos in one of the barns.

Sheep provided by the Drake farm are always a big attraction.
