HARRISON — Come join the celebration of local history at Scribner’s Mill as the turn-of-the century homestead and sawmill holds its 22nd annual “Back to the Past” event on Saturday and Sunday, August 3-4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This annual event offers something for everyone including two full days of demonstrations, exhibits, house tours, children’s activities and excellent food. As you approach Scribner’s Mill, you will hear the hum of old machinery turning out barrel parts, shingles and planed boards. Visitors will watch dry barrel parts being manufactured as well as have the opportunity to help assemble their own barrel. Barrels will be available for sale. On Saturday the Twisted Sticks 4H Club will be there demonstrating their projects and achievements. On Sunday, Dottie Bell will be demonstrating with oxen. Across the street from the mill, exhibitors will be cranking up their antique engines, tractors, trucks and autos. Tours of the homestead will be offered on the hour and half hour. In the barn and wood shed there will be a display of old tools, Civil and WW1 display and demonstrations of spinning, knitting, basket weaving and caning. Next to the corn house, children will be able to participate in children’s workshops from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 to 2:30 p.m. both days. At 2:30 p.m. the young at heart will have an opportunity to turn the crank to make homemade ice cream – free samples will be offered. Hamburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork and lobster rolls will be available for lunch at the food booth. After lunch, make sure you stop by the Just Desserts Booth for a piece of homemade pie and ice cream. Refreshing hand-squeezed lemonade will also be for sale.
