On Saturday, October 7, 2006, from noon to 4pm, experience life on an 18th century tobacco farm as costumed interpreters demonstrate colonial activities such as blacksmithing, spinning, candle-making, dyeing, and fireside cooking. A militia group and a colonial magician will be on site as well.

New this year! From 1:30 to 2:30 pm, we are presenting a Colonial Mystery: The Missing Toaster! This will be a light-hearted production to take place right on the Colonial Farm. If you would like to be a Mystery Guest and participate in solving the mystery, please register by mailing a $5 check, payable to the Accokeek Foundation. You will receive a confirmation letter with more information. Limited to 25 Mystery Guests, 12 years and older. Prizes will be awarded.

General admission is $2 per person. Mystery Guest additional $5 per person. Rain or shine.
