Join us at Howell Living History Farm for a truly enjoyable day! The fair includes animal shows and exhibits, homemade ice cream, hay rides, pony rides, music, magic shows, and farm tours. Check out displays by the Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County, Mercer County Wildlife Center Friends, Mid-State Beekeepers Association, and many more! Wheat threshing demonstrations by Howell Farm staff will take place in the barnyard between 11:00 and 3:00 – with visitors helping to “winnow” the threshed grain to separate the wheat from the chaff before milling.
