Learn about the origins of Primrose Farm Park Aug. 18

Visit Primrose Farm Park for an in-depth look at the Peck family and learn about their legacy during "The Sense of Place" program from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18.

The farmyard at Primrose is filled with cows mooing, roosters crowing and children learning. But how did we get here? What did our present-day living history farm actually look like in the 1930s? What led people to settle this land in the first place? Come explore the natural and cultural history of this site with naturalist Pam Otto and a Primrose Farm historian.

This program includes a tractor-drawn wagon ride and a sunset snack in the summer kitchen.
