The Earth Beneath Our Feet |
|
May 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, 22-23, 29-30
12-4 p.m., drop in anytime
The Earth's soil is a major element sustaining the planet. The rich, fertile soil of Deerfield has nourished crops for thousands of years, making it possible for Native Americans, English settlers, and modern farmers to thrive on the land. Weekends this May, Historic Deerfield will help visitors investigate the diverse ingredients of soil and learn how it is formed in a new program titled "The Earth Beneath Our Feet." Visitors will make their own soil mix and plant seeds in a small pot to take home.
Included with general admission.
