Heritage Farm Museum and Village
will host volunteer training from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 18, for
those wanting to assist in bringing the Farm to life for the Spring Festival on
May 2.
All new volunteers should attend
training at the Farm, located at 3300 Harvey Road, Huntington.
And, with less than three
weeks to go, Heritage Farm wants to remind folks about the new Way Back Weekend
season pass. For one low price, visitors and their families can attend all
seven Way Back Weekends, including a music festival, ice cream social and the
popular cast-iron cookoff.
Season passes are $30 per person and
$75 per family and can be purchased at the welcome center at Heritage Farm
(3300 Harvey Road, Huntington); online
at heritagefarmmuseum.com; or the Cabell-Huntington Convention and Visitors
Bureau (210 11th St,
Huntington).
Those purchasing season passes prior to Spring Festival will
be able to skip the admission lines and get straight on the shuttle buses to
the Farm. Also, groups of 15 or more who
wish to attend the
Spring Festival can pre-purchase discounted tickets at the Farm office for $15
per adult and $5 per child (ages 2-12).
Spring
Festival only tickets will be available on the day of the event for $20 per
adult and $10 per child (ages 2-12).

buildings, artisans, and re-enactors that bring Appalachian history to life.
