33rd Annual Harvest Festival
October 14th & 15th, 2022
The Harvest Festival is dedicated to celebrating the many influences that make up our rich deep East Texas heritage through exhibitors, presenters, displays, and performances all set in our "Living Village" grounds circa 1840-1920. All participants are dressed in period costumes, using period tools, and demonstrating period skills. There will be outstanding shows of both music and dance, and lots of interesting food.
Come join us for Fall's Finest Fun!

Visit the "Special Exhibit" room off the museum store. There is a photo display of native Southeast vegetation, which can be observed in person if you take a hike on the Big Wood Nature Trail. The display was organized by Volunteer Betty Zimmerman. The photos are copyrighted. Both the trail and the display are free. Enjoy!
Also don't miss the Clyde Gray House Museum tours on Saturday. Clyde Gray was a local artist and founder of the village. The museum is his former home and contains his artwork both in tile and oil. He developed the technique to paint on tile. Volunteer and board member Annabeth Willis is the museum curator. Admission is half-price for these tours on Saturday.
