2016 Harvest Festival at Lyndon House Arts Center

The Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department will host this year's Harvest Festival on Thursday, October 20, 2016 from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm at the Lyndon House Arts Center.  

This event is open to all elementary students in Northeast Georgia.  Included are arts and crafts, traditions and histories of the 1800 – 1900's, using the Ware-Lyndon Historic House Museum as our inspiration.  Included will be demonstrations of what life was like in this period including blacksmithing, candle making, letter press, wool spinning and more.  Our partners, Sandy Creek Nature Center and UGA Extension will bring animals to visit with and we have special guest story tellers, musicians and a large diesel powered toy train display this year. 


The Harvest Festival is an excellent way for students to experience first-hand some of Georgia's history.  We continue to provide this festival free of charge because we believe it is important for the youth of today to have a hands-on opportunity to learn about local history and traditions. 


To register your class or school, please call Toni Carlucci at 706 613 3623, ex. 241 or visit our website to download your registration form, www.athensclarkecounty.com/harvest


We would like to thank and acknowledge our supporter, Athens First Bank & Trust and the Lyndon House Arts Foundation.


Lyndon House Arts Center is located at 293 Hoyt Street in downtown Athens.  Parking for school busses is provided at neighboring Lay Park.
