Quiet Valley FarmHeritage Craft Day

and Highlights Saturday, August 6th is Heritage Craft Day at Quiet Valley Living

Historical Farm; traditional skills of yore will be demonstrated from

10:00am to 4:00pm. Watch crafters work, learn techniques and history,

and give some a try yourself! View basket making, rug braiding, wheat

weaving, tatting, spinning, weaving, and broom making. All ages enjoy

this hands-on, folksy event.

Summer Highlights Programs are offered from 10:00am to

3:30pm, in addition to regular

tours. Allen and Hatsie Forsman

and Barbara Keiser will demonstrate Rye Straw Crafts as the Summer Highlights

Program on Wednesday, August 10th. Rye straw is a practical material because

it discourages rodents and other pests. In the hands of a craftsman, it makes

beautiful and durable baskets, hats, and bee skeps. On Thursday, August 11th,

attend the One-Room Schoolhouse! Schoolmarm Bonnie Scott will tell how

students of differing ages were educated; much more than reading, ‘riting,

and ‘rithmetic were taught back then!

Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is a restored and working 19th-century farm, complete with guides dressed in

period clothing and demonstrations of early American skills; closed Mondays except Labor Day. Find it 3½ miles south

of Stroudsburg off Business Route 209. Call (570) 992-6161, and come to www.quietvalley.org.

ECKLEY MINERS’ VILLAGE on Route 940

east of Hazleton was once

a thriving coal mining patch

town with a population of

over a thousand! Founded

in 1854, it was an anthracite-

mining community owned

by coal companies. Eckley

was abandoned with the

advent of strip mining; the

Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission transformed this ghost town into a real historical

experience. Kitchens, bedrooms, personal items, clothing, laundry rooms,

social clubs, churches, doctor’s offi ce, and the company store all appear

now as they were then! Tours and special events are offered, weather and

staff permitting; enjoy the worthy museum any day. Phone (570) 636-2070.

August 9 – PPL Community

Affairs Specialist Alana Roberts will

present a Rain Barrel Workshop:

Saving for a Sunny Day from 6:00

to 7:00pm at PPL Corporation’s

Martins Creek Environmental

Preserve, located on the shores of

the Delaware River in Bangor. Take

an active role in recycling rainwater

by installing a rain barrel at your

house. A rain barrel is placed under

a gutter’s downspout to collect rain

water from the roof. The rain barrel

holds about 50 gallons of water that

can be used to water gardens and

for other uses. Harvesting the rain

water in a rain barrel is just one of

the ways homeowners can reduce

rain water from running off their

property and causing pollution

and fl ooding problems in local

waterways. Participants will receive

plans and instructions on how to

build their own rain barrel. You may

just be the lucky winner of a free

rain barrel to be given out at the end

of the session. The program will be

held at 6:00pm at the Lower Mount

Bethel Welcome Center, 7701

Martins Creek-Belvidere Highway

in Bangor (adjacent to Riverton

Bridge). Registration is appreciated

for this free program. For more

information or to register, call PPL

at (570) 542-2886 or send an email

to [email protected].

The Martins Creek Environmental

Preserve, in conjunction with

PPL’s Martins Creek and Lower

Mount Bethel Energy power plants,

offers 215 acres of woodland

and meadows for hiking and

exploring. Directions are available at

www.pplpreserves.com.
