This tour is a educational experience filled with family fun activities that will appeal to the young and old alike.

Thurman people who live off the land have found a variety of ways to benefit from nature's bounty. Whether it be grooming a sugarbush and tapping maple trees, coaxing fruits and vegetables from the rocky soil, selectively cutting trees and sawing them into lumber, raising farm animals or transforming tree branches into fine furniture, they combine creativity and hard work in this romance with nature called "farming." Come join us as we celebrate our heritage. Visit farms and other sites all over Thurman. Fun will begin at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at Valley Road Maple Farm, and other activities will be featured throughout the two days at announced times. The list of this year's activities is expected to include displays of old tractors and engines, a craft show, craft demonstrations, a business/home show, dining, a geocaching adventure, an old-fashioned barn dance, train rides and...well, check the up dates on line. http://www.persisgranger.com/Thurman_Fall_Farm_Tour.htm
