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.
