Past DemonstrationsMember Kate Henry in 1820's dress, demonstrates at the Buckley Homestead Museum in 2004
The Buckley Homestead Museum is set up as a running 1800's farm complete with sheep flock and Belgian draft horse teams to plow and harvest. It features a fabulous barn with open architecture that allows for huge space in the center, unlike most barns built with center beams. Hordes of hunting cats and flocks of barn swallows keep mice and bugs under control. Ground land supports many out buildings while a labeled orchard and huge fields allow for battle reenactments and time line events. (Buckley Museum is on the southeast border of Lowell Indiana, between I-65 and IN Rt. 41)
