Lang, ON– Enjoy a fun–filled celebration of apples and the harvest season with
Applefest at Lang Pioneer Village Museum! The Museum’s sweetest and most popular

dyeing, chair caning, flour grinding at the Lang Grist Mill, cider pressing at the Cider
Mill, broom making, log hand–hewing, sheep shearing, wood turning by the
Peterborough Artisan Centre Wood Turners, and more. View an antique clock and
timepiece display brought by the Quinte Timekeepers and visit the Ayotte Cabin where historic reenactors, the

to visit the Horse Barn to see the threshing demonstration (morning only).
Stop by the Marie Dressler Foundation display to learn more about their upcoming Vintage Film Festival. Take a
moment to relax and listen to the harvest hymns in the Glen Alda Church. Play a game of apple tic–tac–toe on the
Village Green and make an apple craft. Don’t forget to visit with the lambs!
If you are feeling hungry, visit the Peterborough County Agricultural Heritage Building which will be selling chili and
buns to warm you from the inside out as you enjoy the fall weather in our outdoor courtyard. While in the Courtyard,
enjoy harvest dances performed by the Peterborough Scottish Country Dancers. Pick up some traditional fall fair fare
from Ben’s Kettle Corn which will be onsite selling kettle corn and candy floss. Enjoy hot or cold apple cider and
freshly baked apple treats from the Keene Hotel. There will be bushels of sweet, juicy apples and fresh apple cider for
