Kids who love animals, old machines or a good outdoor morning should circle Saturday, Nov. 14. Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation hosts its yearly Pioneer Family Farmstead Day at Riverbend Park's farmstead from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The free event shows families what daily life looked like for a Florida pioneer family. On the list, per the county:

  • An antique sawmill

  • Farm animals

  • The farmstead garden

  • Exhibitors

  • Free games and activities

  • Food trucks, with food for sale

It works for every age, and admission is free.

Tips for the day

Riverbend is a big natural park, so wear comfortable closed-toe shoes and bring water, sunscreen and hats. The farmstead is a walk from the parking areas, and a stroller with sturdy wheels helps on shell-rock paths.

Questions go to the Riverbend Park office at 561-741-1359.
