On porches, nestled beside the barns, and spread across the lawns, crafters will be offering for sale all manner of traditional handmade goods including a variety of hand knitted, hand sewn, and quilted goods, hand spun knitting wool, spicy candles, handmade teddy bears, pottery and much more. Buy local maple syrup, honey products, and homemade jams. Purchase wonderful things for your home or unique Christmas presents. Stop under the oak trees on the south lawn to chat with Pieter Bronck himself and try the potent drink he concocted over three hundred years ago. Stroll along the old King’s Road to visit the farm’s unusual thirteen-sided hay barn and exhibits in the Bronck Barracks. Then rest awhile and enjoy American bluegrass and country music performed by Running the River. Make the short trip to the Bronck Museum Heritage Craft Fair and celebrate for one early autumn afternoon the rural heritage of America.
