Coggeshall Farm's 38th annual Harvest Fair draws crowds under the weekend's sunny blue skies.
People came from Bristol and beyond on a beautiful late-summer weekend to celebrate the Harvest Fair at Coggeshall Farm, Bristol's 18th-century farm museum. Vendors selling everything from maple syrup to lemonade and Johnnycakes, old-fashioned games, hay rides, pony rides, animals, reenactors and demonstrators ensured there was plenty to see and do. Funds raised from the annual event are an important source of income for the unique museum, which recreates a Rhode Island farm in the year 1799 with hands-on displays and heirloom plants and animals.
