Step into Easton’s past as we celebrate autumn with a special Open House at the Bradley-Hubbell Homestead.
Lisa Burghardt, an Easton resident, will demonstrate spool knitting and lead children of all ages to create bracelets and potholders using this easy to use knitting tool. Â The barn will be open with docent Harry Audley showing a treasure trove of antique farm tools and describing their various uses critical to farmers in centuries past. At the barn, children can draw water from a hand pump and grind corn into meal as part on this hands-on experience. Â Docents will be available for tours of the house and you are welcome to stroll through the garden and grounds of the Homestead overlooking the Aspetuck Reservoir.
