Averill speaks about Page Farm and Home Museum on WABI
Halcyon Averill of the Page Farm and Home Museum at the University of Maine was a recent guest on WABI (Channel 5). She spoke about the museum’s role in the Maine Harvest Festival being held Nov. 14–15 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Averill said the museum focuses on agriculture and domestic life in Maine from 1865 to 1940, and representatives will be at the event both days to offer demonstrations of crafts and recipes from that time period. The museum also was mentioned in a Bangor Daily News article advancing the festival, which states the museum will offer educational workshops addressing everything from bees, honey making and holiday wreath making, to shearing rabbits and raising backyard chickens.
