ROCKLAND HISTORY MONTH  KICKS OFF WITH AFALL FAMILY FESTIVAL AT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF ROCKLAND COUNTY

Celebrate the region's best traditions at the Fall Family Festival on the grounds of the Historical Society of Rockland County, Sunday, October 14th from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Observe demonstrations of quilting, candle making, wool carding and others. Children can decorate a pumpkin, write with a quill pen, and create clothespin dolls, stencil art and more!  Food will be available and music will be provided by Ramapo Fault, Rockland’s old-time string band.  It’s also a great opportunity to step inside the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt farmhouse and learn about life in 19th century Rockland County.  The house will be open for guided tours all afternoon.  Don’t miss the oddball antics as Dikki  Ellis offers a classic old time circus performance with a new age twist.  And be sure to visit our storyteller as she recounts the legend of Naut Kaniff, the last witch of West Nyack and Nickel-O Farms will bring a pony for children to ride from 11am – 1pm.
