Heritage Sunday

Join us on Sunday, Sept.11th from 11-4 for our annual Heritage Sunday event. Learn about historic trades by the demonstrators such as broom making, blacksmithing, wood carvers, basket weavers, and others. Lots of music to be heard: concertina music, violin music, sing-a-long music. At noon the grinding process will begin at the mill and continue throughout the day. The museum and gift shop will be open. Special activities for kids include butter making, digging for potatoes, blacksmithing and corn shelling. Horse drawn wagon rides, interacting with a Civil War soldier and doctor, WWII and Viet Nam living history displays, collector show cars are other attractions. Brats from Pinnons and ¼ pound all beef hot dogs, chips, pop, water, and pies and desserts will be available for purchase. There is no admission charge, but donations are appreciated to help the Friends of Beckman Mill to continue their 32 year endeavor to maintain the buildings and educate about bygone times. The park is located 5 miles west of Beloit on County Rd. H just south of Hwy 81. Call 608-751-1551 for more information or visit our Facebook page or our web site.
