Farmstead Open Day March 30
Bloomington Restorations, Inc. invites you to the monthly Museum Open Day at the Hinkle-Garton Farmstead 1-4 p.m. Saturday, March 30.
The Farmhouse will be open for tours.
Maple syrup made at the Farmstead, as well as maple cream, and maple sugar products supplied by the Indiana Maple Syrup Association will also be for sale.
The Hinkle-Garton Farmstead is sending a call out for Volunteers who might be interested in assisting with Farmstead tours. Tours are held on the last Saturday of certain months from 1-4 p.m. Volunteer duties include introducing visitors to the Farmstead history and acting as docents/hosts for the afternoon. Our Open Days are conducted in a very easy-going atmosphere, minimal training and commitment required and always under supervision and guidance. All that would be required is an ability to pleasantly engage the public and a 1-1/2 hour training. If interested please contact LeAnn Luce, Hinkle-Garton Farmstead Open Days and Events Coordinator at: lucebella50@gmail.com for more information.
The farmstead, located at 2920 E. 10th Street in Bloomington, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is owned and maintained by Bloomington Restorations, Inc., an organization committed to the preservation of historic properties in Monroe County. The farmstead is free and open to the public on the last Saturday of most months.
