Apples have been the center of the New England harvest since the British first brought seeds and cuttings across the Atlantic in the 17^th century.  Now, New England’s apple orchards grow some 40 varieties of apples, providing fruit to snack on as well as for juices, ciders, pies, and desserts.  Participate in hands-on programming pressing cider and baking pie from a variety of locally-grown apples.  With the Museum’s colonial hearth, there is no better way to taste history.  Throughout the day, contribute to the community art mural, which asks: What can you add to our apple orchard? Hurry into the Museum to get a flavor of the harvest before it runs out!  Appropriate for all ages.
