Dancers and toe tappers of all ages are invited to join the fun at Howell Living History Farm on Friday,November 4, when the Jugtown Mountain String Band teams up with caller Sue Dupre during the farm’s summer barn dance.

The event is among the evening programs offered in the Charles Fish barn, an addition to the farm’s Visitor Center. The restored 1850 timberframe is fully accessible and home to many of the farm’s new, indoor programs.

Beginners are especially welcome at the dance, which like most of the farm’s programs encourages visitors to try their hands, and sometimes feet, at an earlier way of life. During the evening, a variety of easy and more challenging dances will be called, all involving a combination of square, circle and contra-dances typical of the times.

Gates open for the event at 6:45 p.m.and the dance begins at 7:30pm. A $3 donation is suggested.
