PENDLETON — The Pendleton Historic Foundation and the Bart Garrison Agricultural Museum of South Carolina will be hosting “Old Farm Day” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 25.

This year’s event is being held at Woodburn Historical Home and the Agricultural Museum. This one-day educational festival is designed to celebrate the rich heritage of agriculture in the Upstate.

Anyone interested in exhibiting antique tractors, hit-n-miss engines, hay balers, reapers, or other antique farm implements, should contact Norman Durham at 864-643-9196.

Event organizers are also looking for people who would like to exhibit farm animals. Crafters are also needed to help make farm living of the past come to life.

Broom makers, soap makers, caners, quilters, leather workers, candle makers, and weavers, are just a few of the types of crafters needed for demonstrations or hands-on activities. There is no charge for exhibitors and exhibitors are encouraged to sell their wares.

Both Old Farm Day sites are located on History Lane directly across from Tri-County Technical College.
