Gurski Farmstead Spring Open House Saturday

On Saturday, May 19, 2012 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Brookfield Museum and Historical Society will host a family-oriented Open House at the Gurski Farmstead.

The event will feature Brookfield residents Ryan Blessey and Robert Pitcher each giving hands-on blacksmithing demonstrations at the Forge. In addition, the Open House will include a working exhibit of antique farm machinery and a tour of Brookfield’s second oldest burial ground, the Merwin Brook Cemetery. 

The farmstead property connects with many open space trails, and visitors will have the opportunity to explore the grounds, view the farmstead buildings from the outside and observe the Brookfield Lion's community garden. 

Directions: The Farmstead is located on the left side of Route 133 approximately 1/2 mile from the intersection of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center heading north in the direction of Bridgewater.

Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.
