BBQ & Tools

June 17th

It’s Dad’s turn to celebrate with Coggeshall Farm Museum! On the day before Father’s Day, enjoy some tasty BBQ from our farm partners at Gnarly Vines Farm while you explore our salt marsh farm and enjoy special craft demonstrations.

The Gnarly Vines Farm food truck will be onsite with a delicious Brazilian Barbecue menu available for purchase. Costumed historians will demonstrate the skills of the time including coopering and metalwork in our Blacksmith shop. Guests can also view some of the historic tools from the Bornstein collection here at the museum and leave the event with their very own historic tools poster! There will also be free samples of (non-alcoholic) beers, courtesy of Athletic Brewing Company.
