Details on Day in Brentwood's Past

Linda Lynch, the city's community relations director, shares the following information on Saturday's “A Day in Brentwood’s Past.” Sounds like fun, so let's all try to be there!

Here's the city's press release:

Have you ever wanted to step back in time? Or wanted to see the interior of the Cool Springs House or the Log House at Crockett Park? Are you looking for something fun the family can do together? The Brentwood Historic Commission invites the public to travel back in time at this free family event at Crockett Park on Saturday, April 25 from 10-2.

For a few hours the historic area at Crockett Park will return to yesteryears. Visitors can stroll at their own pace and see a blacksmith, a spinner and a long hunter demonstrate their skills.
The exhibits, some of them hands on, will include Civil War memorabilia, music including a fife, drum and bugle trio, a guitarist and dulcimers players, crafts, and native animals including ‘native Brentwood goats’. Children will especially enjoy the old fire truck. This day has something for everyone.

Both historic homes will be open with greeters in period clothing.

This program was held for 13 years for fourth graders as a field trip. This is the first year that it is being offered to the general public as a family experience. Make this part of your Saturday at the park.
