Howell Living History Farm invites the public to enjoy an old fashioned “ice cream party” on Saturday, June 30,  from 10:00am-4:00pm.  Featured activities include music, wagon rides, games and contests, a children’s craft program and lots of ice cream making and eating.

Ice cream making will begin at 11:00am when visitors are invited to help draw and grind ice from the Farm's ice house.   The first batch of home made ice cream will be ready for dipping at noon.  Ice cream sodas and sundaes will be served until 3:30pm.

Also taking  place, will be the farm’s horsedrawn wheat harvest.  Drawn by three big horses clad in medieval-looking flynets, Cyrus McCormick’s “reaper-binder” will chatter through waves of ripened grain, cutting and bundling it into sheaves.
