Tomorrow … SATURDAY Step Back in Time Tomorrow at Shoal Creek!
Friends:
Tomorrow is our first official summer opening for the 2026 season!
After a full afternoon spent cleaning the whole village…
i was cleaning and prepping the Hughes Cooking Cabin and the Hughes Textile Cabin, we are ready to welcome you back to the 1880s.
I will be at the hearth tomorrow cooking up a traditional Virginia New Brunswick Stew (using chicken—no rabbits or squirrels in this batch! 🤣🤣) alongside a delicious Blueberry Cake made with fresh Smirhville farm blueberries.
The village will operate rain or shine, and would love to see you there.

When: Saturday, June 13th, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (An additional date will be held June 27th)
