The risk of frost is nearly past! That means farmers will be planting their fields and garden soon.  We read in Abba Durant’s diary (written from 1866 to 1875) that her brothers helped their father with farm tasks—especially planting, cultivating, harvesting, and selling of the wheat, barley, oats, and corn that they grew. Come spend time at the Durant House Museum and learn what farming and gardening was like in the 1800’s.
