Muscular draft horses clip-clop-pounded a circular route (above) around Malabar farm to the delight of a constant stream of festival visitors who enjoyed mini-hay rides in this form of 19th century mass transit.
THE HERITAGE FESTIVAL
...at Malabar Farm
The thundering roar of Civil War Artillery canons periodically reverberated across the hollows of Malabar Farm during its recent two day, 32nd annual Heritage Festival while in an adjacent meadow pioneers emulated colonial life with an encampment fiercely true to accurate artifacts.
More than 75 crafts people demonstrated a wide range of period skills in the main barn, outbuildings and a sprinkling of canvas covered venues around the farm.

Two young ladies were entranced by the skill of a potter’s hands (above) as he demonstrated an age of craft work that was older than the girl’s great grandparents.
Old friend from my flying days, Phil Johnson of Mansfield (left) delighted visitors with his magic creations on a tiny lathe while his wife in silhouette and long skirt (below) greeted visitors in the farm’s huge barn.
