Open Day, The Hinkle-Garton Farmstead, 920 E. Tenth St., Bloomington, IN

In recognition of the seed library begun at the site, volunteers have packaged a variety of seeds that will be given away free to interested visitors. During the afternoon, volunteers will also be working on additional seed-saving activities. They will be happy to answer questions and visitors are welcome to assist the efforts. The farmstead also welcomes Keely Schmerber, a piano performance major at IU’s Jacobs School of Music who was awarded the Friday Musicale Scholarship last fall. She will be sharing her musical talents in the 1892 main house where visitors can also see the “Harvesting at the Farmstead” exhibit, and sample jellies for purchase made by volunteers. The Farmstead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is owned and maintained by Bloomington Restorations, Inc. It is free and open to the public and is located at 2920 E. Tenth Street in Bloomington. For more information call BRI at (812) 336-0909 or visit the Farmstead on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HinkleGartonFarmstead
