Join us at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, at 18 Highlawn Road in Warner on Saturday, September 26 from 10am - 3pm for our annual family-friendly Harvest Moon Festival. The festival is a Native American celebration of the harvest, the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Harvest Moon is about more than just crops and food, it is a celebration of a season’s worth of hard work throughout the community.
The day will include the opportunity to make dolls from corn husks, sweetgrass braids and also beading. Enjoy watching the art of basketmaking, a live demonstration on flint-knapping, and learn the process of how acorn flour is made. There will be sensory-friendly activities and games, as well as a scavenger hunt with prizes at the end. The entire family will savor the taste of Native foods, including the ever-popular Hidatsa bison stew and three-sisters soup. Tickets are available at the gate the day of the event, and museum admission is included with your ticket to the event.
