Show times: 10:00am, 11:15am, 12:45pm, 2:00pm, 3:15pm (approximately 45 minutes). NOTE that the 12:45pm performance is an accessibility show and will be presented from the farmhouse porch. All other performances are interactive walking shows through the grounds. Comfortable shoes and clothing should be considered for walking a wooded trail.
