July 2027 · Exact date to be announced

Pioneer Day

Our biggest day of the year returns next summer. Pioneer Day traditionally brings live music, hymn singing and a morning church service, a community lunch, contests and demonstrations across the grounds, and a steak dinner to close out the evening — all set among the Village's historic buildings.

Dates, performers, and the full schedule will be posted here once they're set. Get in touch to be notified.
