July 2 • It's Party Time!
It’s time to get ready for Shawnee’s 1929 annual Independence Day celebration! Practice for the potato sack races, rehearse patriotic songs, and make decorations for the town. Families are encouraged to dress in American colors and bring a picnic!
July 9 and 11 • Animal Farm
Learn about animal life on a Shawnee truck farm as we care for our farm’s residents! Feed the chickens and visit with sheep, goats, and the milking cow, guarded by the friendly family dog.
July 16 and 18 • Family Vacation
Take the family camping, 1920s style! Explore a real Auto Tent and campsite, take a car ride around town, and learn campfire songs in the square.
July 23 and 25 • Life on a Truck Farm
It’s the busy season on the farm! Time to harvest and wash the vegetables, hang laundry, and make lunch in the farm kitchen.
