Harvest Day Festival at Brinegar Cabin

Harvest Day Festival – Oct. 2, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Brinegar Cabin, Milepost 238, Blue Ridge Parkway. Visit the original cabin and site of Martin and Caroline Brinegar’s homeplace. Whether by location or choice, the Brinegars probably lived a more self sufficient lifestyle than many well into the 1900s. Fall is the time to finish harvesting the crops and plow the garden before winter sets in. Come see how the Brinegars made apple butter and other food preservation skills, as well as putting the garden to bed for the winter.
