Quiet Valley Presents Annual Harvest Festival Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm will host its annual Harvest Festival on Saturday and Sunday, October 12 and 13.

Themed For Everything, a Season, this year’s festival ties in beautifully with the farm’s 50th anniversary and Quiet Valley’s mission of preserving and presenting the agricultural history of the 19th century.

Many early-American crafts, including basketry, broom-making, spinning, weaving, tatting, quilling, yarn-dyeing and outdoor brick oven baking, will be demonstrated throughout the weekend, and hands-on activities, folk entertainment, great country food and games will add to the event’s festive atmosphere.

The two-day celebration will also feature children’s activities, a Festival Quilt raffle and a Civil War Encampment by members of the 142nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.

With so much to see and do, this year’s Harvest Festival is sure to be an enjoyable experience for guests of all ages. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages three through 12. Parking is free.

Halloween Haunted Lantern Tours

Looking for a fun, family-friendly way to celebrate the spirit of the season? Take a Halloween Haunted Lantern Tour of Eckley Miners’ Village!

The authentic mining patch town hosts these eerie evening excursions on Fridays and Saturdays, October 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 (Rain days: October 13, 20 and 27).

See the site’s historic structures by the glow of hand-held lantern light! Eckley’s fright facilitators will guide you through the darkened streets of the 19th century village and stop for spooky surprises along the way. Several silly, scary skits will have you laughing, screaming and even singing along!

Tours are available from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Frightening films will be shown in the Village Auditorium between trips.

Halloween Haunted Lantern Tours are appropriate for participants age 6 and older. Guests are encouraged to bring a flashlight or purchase a lantern at the Village Museum. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children.
