"Road to Yesterday"

About

On Sunday, July 19, between 10am and 3pm, the Southern Oregon Historical Society's Hanley Farm will be a featured stop on the Rogue Valley Farm Tour, a day-long opportunity to visit farms and ranches, participate in tastings and field tours, purchase local goods, and learn about our local food system. There is no charge for admission. Period hats and bonnets are provided for children. "Road to Yesterday" reenactments evoke life on the farm in 1876, one year after the new house was completed. The corrals are full of animals and members of the Hanley Family and friends are busy with farm chores. A featured part of the tour is a beautiful, high-wheeled Mitchell wagon, a design dating to 1872, fully restored and donated to the Society by Michael Hanley IV.
