Looking for a fun educational activity for kids and parents alike this fall? Check out Old Time Farm Day at the Schick-Ostolasa Farmstead on Sunday September 26th from 12:00pm-4:00pm. Catch a glimpse of what Idaho life was like in the 1860’s while watching the Dry Creek Quilters and Blacksmith-Scott Webster practice their crafts. The Fort Boise Garrison Living History Volunteers will be on hand to demonstrate early Idaho life in period costume and arms. Smarty Pants actors will be performing as historical characters from the Farmstead’s history. Children can play yard games or activities that would have been played by children in the 1860’s. Come early to get in on the silent auction and dessert auction. Music will be provided by The False Bottom String Band. Food will be provided by The Dry Creek Mercantile. Admission is: $6 per person or $25 per family and children under 3 years are free. The Farmstead is located at 5006 W. Farm Court Boise ID 83714 (in the Hidden Springs subdivision).
