so many things to do and see at Quiet Valleyparticularly this time of year! Coming up on Saturday and Sunday October 8th and 9th, from 10am to 5pm, Quiet Valley’s Harvest Festival will be an enjoyable Autumn event for all ages. The fascinating theme of this year’s festival is “Fermentation.” The weekend is dedicated to farming, crafts and trades of the 1800s, and traditional methods of cooking and processing various food items. Quiet Valley’s brand of hands-on learning is always fun, and the demonstrations are informative. You may learn the art of candle or basket making, spinning and weaving, tanning and leather work, rye straw crafts, apple butter making, and more skills. Don’t miss the interactive program in the 1893 one-room schoolhouse! Plus, there’s a children’s heritage area for the the K-4th set with crafts and activities like pumpkin decorating.
There will be plenty of folk entertainment, delicious foods (many based on historical recipes), wagon rides, a quilt raffle, and a Civil War re-enactors encampment returns to the farm once Admissionmore.is
month, come see the “Eerie Side” of Quiet Valley. Spooky Days on the Farm is Friday, October 28th and Saturday, October 29th from 5pm to 8pm. Activities take a turn towards the things that go bump in the night on the farm around Halloween! Put your detective skills to the test by helping solve a murder mystery. A guide will take you around the farm as you meet the suspects, gather clues, and more! Program takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Check out quietvalley.org/spookydays-on-the-farm/ for details.

n attraction known to many as “Pennsylvania’s Greatest Natural Wonder” is a fantastic experience for the whole family. Crystal Cave in Kutztown is a fun and historical place to see - so plan a day (into early evening) trip in October! With the spirit of Halloween approaching, reserve your time for a “Ghost” Lantern Tour. A guide, dressed in Victo rian garb will guide you through the spooky cave by the glow of a lantern light. Your guide will tell of the unexplained occurrences in the cave and on the grounds dating back to the 1800s. The “Ghost” Lantern Tour is unique from a regular cave tour... perfect for those in awe of the unknown.

Nestled between rolling Wayne County hills covered in fiery shades of garnet and gold, Honesdale celebrates the harvest and local heritage in style. Back in the 1800s, this small town welcomed the first steam locomotive to the United States and became the “Birthplace of the American Railroad.” Visit the Wayne County Historical Society to see a replica of the first “Stourbridge Lion,” then climb aboard yourself for a fall foliage train tour with The Stour bridge Line
This Week in the Poconos 17

The Delaware River is beautiful with autumnal colors rising above it, and it’s just a short walk from downtown Milford. After a day in the fresh air, refuel at local restaurants like La Posada and Felix’s Cantina, or see what beers are on tap at Log Tavern Brewing Co.
Visit PoconoMountains.com/Fall to start planning your trip, and don’t forget to check our events calendar and attend one of the many family-friendly fall festivals coming up this season.

Quaint and CozyTowns in the Poconos to Visit this Fall
3 Milford
In the nineteenth century, the beau tiful town of Jim Thorpe was home to over a dozen millionaires and was a popular destination for Victorian tourists. The county seat of Carbon County still has its old-world charm and elegance, and the brilliant fall trees are a gorgeous backdrop for its cobblestone streets and brick Totownhouses.fullyimmerse yourself in the opulent past of Jim Thorpe, book a stay at one of the area’s historic hotels, guest houses or bed and breakfasts. The Jim Thorpe Trolley Company is a great way for visitors to get around while learning about the area. Free parking for the trolley is available at nearby Penn’s Peak
The northern gateway to Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, scenic and historic Milford is the county seat of Pike County and has natural wonders close at hand as well as one-of-a-kind shopping and dining. Take a hike up to Milford Knob Trail for a view of the small town framed by foliage. Explore the grounds of Grey Towers National Historic Landmark to find even more fall colors.
There’s no shortage of fall flair and small-town character in Stroudsburg in the “heart of the Poconos” in Monroe County. Take some time to stroll along the sidewalks beneath the colorful trees, enjoy the local arts scene including murals and galleries, then stop in the many bou tiques, cafes and local businesses within the walkable downtown area. Stock up on gear for your next adventure at Dunkelberger’s Sports Outfitters, or find vibrant mums and fall decor to take home at The Potting Shed. Follow the Stroudsburg branch of the Pocono Beverage Trail at Downriver Brewing Co. and RAW Urban Winery and Hard Cidery, or venture just outside of town to discover beautiful fall views at Mountain View Vineyard and Eagles Rest Cellars
