The event\, which takes place under a tent on museum grounds\, April 20th through April 28th is a family-friendly opportunity to learn more about domestic livestock typical on coastal northern New England farms from the 17th century to present day. Peter Cook\, who assists with the coordination of animals for the museum's NH Fall Festival\, is curating the event\, securing breeders from NH\, Maine and MA farms who are expert in heritage animals including lambs\, kids\, calves\, piglets\, bunnies\, chicks\, and ducklings. The participants answer visitors' questions\, explaining the developmental needs of the babies\, the various aspects of husbandry that are required to raise them and why they have chosen to preserve these sometimes-endangered domestic animals for future generations. Many farms are family projects enthusiastically supported by multiple generations of caretakers. The emphasis is on educational and interpretive information. For the health and safety of the animals and people\, petting is not allowed.
