Opening Celebration of the Allen Piggery


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 06/04/2023
Join us to celebrate the newest old building at the Village: the Allen Piggery. Farmers built piggeries, or hog houses, as dedicated and efficient spaces in which to raise swine. The reconstructed Allen Piggery will officially open at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 3rd. Throughout the weekend, guests can see the pigs in their new home and explore a variety of pig-related topics throughout the Village, from livestock care and feeding to animals in stories and art to early 19th-century pork recipes and smoking techniques. Kids can enjoy a pig craft in the Bixby House too! Be sure to also stop by the Miner Grant Store and Ox & Yoke Mercantile for a variety of pig-related products like stuffies, books, and hats.
