Fall at Historic Forestville, when the leaves are changing and the air is crisp, is one of the most beautiful times of the year to visit.

Along with a guided tour, each Saturday visitors can participate in a different hands-on demonstration:

• October 12 – Bake apple pies on the wood-burning stove
• October 19 – Create apple cider with an 1800s-era cider press
• October 26 – Craft apple butter using 19th-century methods

Take a nighttime guided hike to Zumbro Hill Cemetery and learn about the lives of Forestville’s earliest residents.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own flashlight; staff will have a limited number of flashlights available for use. Please dress for the weather.

In case of strong rain, the tour will be rescheduled for Oct. 25.

This run/walk event starts at 8:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day morning, with registration starting at 7:30 a.m.

The event is free to participants, but a donation to the Fillmore County Food Shelf will be collected from those who would like to contribute.

This is not a sanctioned race.  It is a fun run/walk starting in Lanesboro near Riverside on the Root and finishing at the Trail Head Inn in Preston.  And, the end of the 10.3 mile run/walk is always a surprise for the first person to find the finish line.

If you’d like to burn some calories before you consume some calories, this is a perfect event to kick-off your Turkey Day!
