Muscatatuck to offer look back at pioneer life with Log Cabin Day

You will soon be able to sample what life would have been like in pioneer days, as the Muscatatuck Wildlife Society hosts Log Cabin Day on Saturday October 11th at the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge east of Seymour.

The event will include old-time music performed by the Lazy Susan String Band, historic costumed storytelling, tours of the Myers Cabin and Barn tour, pioneer demonstrations and blacksmithing. There will also be a chore corral, where kids can try chores from yesteryear. There will also be visits to the closed areas of the Wildlife Refuge.

There will be a free ham and bean lunch with homemade cornbread cooked on an open fire.

Events will be from 10 to 2 Saturday and will start at the Myers Family Cabin and Barn.

The event celebrates National Wildlife Refuge Week, which starts on Sunday, October 12th. You are encouraged to explore the Refuge’s hiking trails, birding and fall colors, along with the Nature Center, Bookstore and Gift Shop.
