Once the Hauser family farm, Horne Creek enables visitors to experience farm life in North Carolina's northwestern Piedmont circa 1900. The site features the family's original farm house, a tobacco curing barn, a corn crib, adjacent fields under cultivation, and even a heritage apple orchard. Through programs ranging from old fashioned ice cream socials to an annual corn shucking frolic, Horne Creek Living Historical Farm provides a unique opportunity to learn about our rural past.
Upcoming Events
- June 8: Farm Day
Saturday 10 am - 5 pm
This event will focus on agricultural and rural traditions and skills found on a typical family farm in NC's northwest Piedmont region at the turn of the 20th century. Listen as an interpreter tells the story of the Hauser family, and learn how to churn butter, grind corn, or dance the Virginia Reel. Plenty of hands-on activities for children to enjoy. Vendor booths will present such items as natural soaps, heirloom fruits and vegetables, basket making, and handmade toys and crafts. Local artisans, musicians, and food play a vital role in the program. No entrance fee, but donations are greatly appreciated. Fee for food and drinks. No pets allowed. Cancelled in the event of rain. Call 336-325-2298 for further information.
