Area history lovers can interact with the historic past at Prophetstown State Park, located off 9th St. Rd., five miles north of Lafayette. The living museum will kick-off a new and more eventful season this weekend, April 17- 19, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with Plow Days.

An educational and entertaining experience, Prophetstown is a living and working farm that offers a hands-on opportunity to engage farm life as it was at the turn of the 20th century. This year the farm is offering more vintage activities and entertainment throughout the year.

Plow Days will feature oldfashioned plow demonstrations with large draft horses that were used before tractors and will include demonstrations by the Americus Quilting Club, Native American cooking and lifestyle demonstrations and horse-drawn trolley rides. The park has a new attraction this year at the Woodland Indian Settlement. During Plow Days, Jessica Diemer-Eaton will be on hand to demonstrate the daily historic Woodland Indian activities, lifestyle and traditional food preparation.

Visitors can learn more about the history of agriculture through guest speaker Hoey Paarlberg, the retired farm director of the Purdue University Research Farm.

There is a small fee per vehicle to enter the park. For additional information, contact Danielle Seward at (765) 567-4700 or go to prophetstown.org.
