The fifth annual Harvest Day at Lindenwald was held at Martin Van Buren National Historic Site September 22nd. More than 2,500 visitors attended this family fun day, which included sheep shearing, hay wagon rides, wool dying, historic music and dance, a herd dog demonstration, and more than a dozen other activities. A popular activity provided by the Friends of Lindenwald was a vignette portraying actual historic events that occurred here in the middle of the 19th century. Harvest Day has become an annual event that commemorates agriculture today and as it was when Martin Van Burn, the eighth United States President, was at Lindenwald.
