Events At The Knauss Homestead
WE’VE GOT LOTS TO DO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR!
From fun-filled fruit festivals to ancestry and genealogy workshops, we’ve got something for everyone. Some events are free to attend, while some charge a nominal fee to raise money for the restoration of the Knauss Homestead. 100% of all funds we receive go directly to benefit the Homestead. All of our staff and our Board of Directors are volunteers.
