The Saline Area Historical Society presents Harvest Time at the Rentschler Farm Museum this Sunday, Oct. 3, from noon to 4 p.m.
The museum is located at 1265 E. Michigan Ave., in Saline.
This years event features wagon rides, old-time children's games, pumpkin painting, quilting demonstrations, cow-milking demonstrations, tours for the farmhouse, and a special performance by the Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic.
Coffee, cider and donuts will be served and the society's gift shop will be open.
The farmstead interprets regional agriculture and farm life during the 1900-1950 time period. This farmstead, now known as the Rentschler Farm Museum, consists of fourteen historically significant structures built primarily around the turn of the century. The land was first farmed in 1825; and in 1901, the farmstead was purchased by Emanuel Rentschler. The Rentschlers continued to farm the land until the 1990s.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 44 and low of 30 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Overcast for the morning, sunny in the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
Providing input just like the data center had input given. When a decision is made around here, it has already been made.
