“The Historical Society makes apple butter the old-fashioned way in six, 50-gallon copper kettles, cooked over open wood-burning fires. Canning and selling of the apple butter is done at the festival in the afternoon as it becomes ready,” festival organizers said.

There will also be craft booths, music, and other entertainment at the festival.
