Stories on the Farm

Join us for a live performance set throughout the farm.

Thursday, July 22, from 5 to 6 PM or 6 to 7 PM

You are invited to enjoy original, live historical theater. We'll be offering two identical sets of stories around the farm beginning on the hour. 

Explore our historic 1850’s subsistence farm while enjoying live storytelling by the dynamic actors from our local Mountain Heritage High School Theatre Arts Program and other friends of the farm. Each performer has written, researched, and chosen a farm site for their original tale based on a historical character from Western North Carolina.

Meet Mighty Micah, the renowned one-armed miner, hear farmer Eliot Crimson’s woes, listen to a couple of friends make music history, learn how two sisters earn renown with mere twigs, and see how a son avenges his father’s death with skill and cunning. Other friends of the farm may join in with their memories of growing up in Yancey County.

If you can't make it this time mark your calendar for Thursday, August 26, when we'll do it again. 

This evening is free and open tot he public — so please, bring a friend. 

Scary Saturdays on the Farm is coming this fall. You won't want to miss it. Mark your calednare beginning Saturday, September, 25.
