Celebrate the start of the season and the opening of the tenant farmhouse at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm. Lived in by the Stekionis family from 1913 to 1993, the farmhouse is open to the public for the first time as an example of twentieth-century domestic life.
Farm activities abound as we prepare for the summer growing season: watch teams of draft horses and mules plow our fields; shear six of our seven resident sheep (ask us why we will not shear the seventh!) and Cashmere goat; tempt your taste buds with locally made pie, one of Jacob Stekionis’ favorite foods; watch Vintage Baseball sponsored by the Essex Base Ball League; sample locally made libations from Ipswich Ale Brewery and Turkey Shore Distilleries; enjoy traditional New England music; tour the 1690 stone farmhouse.
Kids can make a craft to take home in the 1775 Great Barn, watch a puppet show, or learn about our animals. Shop local vendors, and enjoy blacksmithing demonstrations, wool washing and spinning, and horse-drawn wagon rides.
