Event

Harvest Fair

Harvest Fair celebrates the simple life, engaging visitors of all ages in friendly competitions, games, lively music and dance, hay rides, pony rides and much more against the backdrop of a working 18th century living history farm.

This year's event features performances by some of the region's most beloved performers for children and families, including two-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Bill Harley on Sept. 19 and nationally renowned multicultural storyteller Norah Dooley on Sept. 20. We'll also offer contra dancing lessons on Sept. 19 and a Morris dance performance by the Ladies of the Rolling Pin on Sept. 20.

For 42 years, Coggeshall Farm Museum has drawn visitors from across New England for this major festival. Bring the whole family for a day of good old-fashioned fun. There's something for everyone!

Try your hand at more than a dozen 18th-century games, discover one-of-a-kind handcrafted items from our talented vendors, visit our heirloom sheep and cattle on a hayride through the pasture, and put your artistic skills to work at our craft tables. Great family-friendly food will be provided by a variety of vendors, along with Coggeshall's own jonnycakes!
