Traveling with Light Planetarium Show @ Golden Pond Planetarium
Oct 31 @ 3:00 pm

Traveling with Light presents different scenarios that reveal the complexity of light and its direct influence on our planet. The Sun is the closest star to Earth and generates the energy that provides the light and heat necessary for life. Nevertheless, the Sun is not the only source of natural light. Fire has accompanied the Earth since its inception and has played a very important role in the evolution of the human being, so much so that its discovery by primitive societies changed their way of life.

Art on the Farm @ Homeplace 1850s Working Farm and Agricultural Museum
Nov 2 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

If farmers were able to find the time and had the talent, drawing and painting were easy to do on the 1850s farm. Photographs were often rare and expensive during the 1850s so creative people would use their talents to capture their important moments on paper. Have a sit down and capture some moments on the Farm.
