Twilight at the Farmhouse Thursday, September 28, 6–8 p.m. Enjoy the twilight ambiance of this 1850's house by candlelight and lamplight while enjoying a fall evening viewing the ever- changing colors in the Lost Valley Marsh. Smell the aromas of what is baking in the wood-burning stove. We think of candlelight at the end of the day as peaceful, but try doing detailed work in dim lighting! See how the early settlers tried to get the remains of their work done at day's end.
