Fayette Historic State Park in Delta County comes to life during Fayette Heritage Day, Saturday, Aug. 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
At this free annual event, you’ll hear authentic 19th-century music and see a blacksmith operating a real forge.
Kids can discover the joy of old-fashioned outdoor fun as they take part in three-legged races, sack races and lawn croquet. They can even play with reproduction 19th-century toys.
You also can watch or participate in a game of old-time baseball. Anyone 13 years old or older can be on the park visitor team, which takes on the Fayette home team. It’s 1860s-style baseball, so that means no gloves, no swearing and a bell rings for every run.
You need to have a Recreation Passport to enter the park, otherwise, the events are free.
