A fascinating weird little passage on funeral practices of the 19th century Midwest, courtesy of the Conner Prairie Museum in Fishers, IN. I found this booklet in a Little Free Library in Portland, OR, but coincidentally, my dad was born in Fishers. I love the phrase "there'll be raisin pie yet." I do not love the idea of dead bodies on ice or wrapped in cloth soaked with brandy.

National Farmers Day
Without farmers, we’d all starve. Visit a farmer’s market, take a trip to a farm, or reenact how farmers used to live and grow with old-fashioned tools.
Some might say that modern society was built upon the rugged shoulders and stubborn personalities of farmers from around the world. Because without those who dedicate their lives to growing food, where would everyone else be?
So, it only makes sense that a time should be set aside to celebrate their contributions and all that they have provided (and indeed continue to provide) to the world. National Farmers Day intends to do just this!
History of National Farmers Day
Due to the fact that farmers have been honored for centuries, the roots of this day are likely to go back very far and with a wide variety of traditions! Many different countries have set aside dates for celebrating National Farmers Day at different times of the year. For instance, in India and Pakistan a day for farmers is celebrated in December, while South Korea celebrates in November and Zambia in October.
In the United States, some people have celebrated a time in late October as “Old Farmer’s Day”, with a festival located in Loranger, Louisiana that reenacts the farmers’ way of life from before technology changed it so much. Other communities may host their own events and activities that offer a nod to the important work that farmers do to put food on the table of families everywhere.
National Farmers Day offers a delightful time in the harvest season of the autumn to show some appreciation and love for those folks who toil and work to provide food for those in the communities around them. Whether celebrating small micro farmers who grow or local organic dairy farmers, this is an ideal opportunity to make a big deal out of something so important as farmers!
How to Celebrate National Farmers Day
Celebrating National Farmers Day can take on a few different forms but may partially depend on where a person lives. Have some fun making plans and celebrating these salt of the earth folks with some of these ideas:
Thank a Farmer
One of the best ways to celebrate National Farmers Day would be to begin by thanking a farmer! For those who live in a rural community, this might just mean visiting a friend who is a farmer and wishing them a happy National Farmers Day! Or, head on over to a local farmers market in the area and let the growers there know how much their hard work and effort is appreciated on this important day.
Visit a Working Farm
Those who live in or near the country might want to observe National Farmers Day by participating in activities that reenact the ancient methods of farming before the invention of electricity and modern equipment. Throughout the US, many different communities can be found that allow visitors to get a glance into the past, including places like:
Conner Prairie Farm in Fishers, Indiana
Living History Farm in Urbandale, Iowa
Oliver Kelley Farm in Elk River, Minnesota
Howard County Living Farm Heritage Museum in West Friendship, Maryland
Join in on Farming Events and Activities
Many times, a state fair is a place where farmers will join together to show off their produce or animals. There may even be some local festivals to attend that are centered around local produce like a pumpkin festival, a corn festival or an apple festival. These types of gatherings are often places where a variety of types of local farmers can be found.
City dwellers can choose to celebrate National Farmers Day by taking a trip to a rural area and visiting a local farmers’ market. There is no doubt that the fruits and vegetables encountered alone should make up for the drive!
Learn Interesting Facts About Farming
National Farmers Day is a perfect time to brush up on some facts and statistics related to the appreciation of farming. Check out some of these:
Around 97% of farms in the US are family owned and operated.
In 2019, more than 22 million US jobs were related to agriculture and food.
Only 2% of the American population are the farmers who feed everyone else!

It has occurred to me that I’ve never shared some of my local attractions on here! If you’d like to see a slice of a Midwestern Halloween, check out this video of the Headless Horseman festival at Conner Prairie, a “living museum” depicting life in the 1800s. It’s a lot of fun! Queue and ride section start at the 9:30 mark. Don’t skip the queue section, as it features love actors and a fun song to catch people up to speed on the Horseman’s legend.
Happy Halloween!

Loss at a Living History Museum
Step through heavy doors, breathe deep - summer air chilling around you - and travel back in time. • You are a Lenape woman, and a White woman too, torn between two worlds as statehood threatens everything. You fear a growing world and the change it brings your family. You weave baskets and reed mats for walls and dream of your mother. • You've travelled from Pennsylvania with grief as your companion to meet your mother - "widow" a name you share. You bake German cookies and think of the life you meant to have. You are comforted by neighbors, your three brothers, and each guest at your family's inn. • You are an engineer, one of four women in your class, thrilled by the promise of flying cars and a man on the moon. You and your little brother build new machines, launch rockets, and talk about a future your father will not see. • Your heart - whether it lives in 1816, 1836, 1958, or 2016 - will always know loss. You travel back in time and live each life to learn how to go on.

Museums As Agents of Change
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 7:00 pm EST
Register for this Streaming Virtual Event Here
The place of museums in society is rapidly evolving. As active participants in the important conversations of the present, today museums have a role to play in helping understand and interpret complex issues in our society.
In the words of Lonnie Bunch III, secretary of the Smithsonian, “Museums are not community centers, but they can be centers of their communities.” Among our most trusted sources of information, museums have a unique platform to share stories that have been marginalized, ask hard questions, and host the difficult conversations that can lead to real change.
The Capital Jewish Museum and the Jewish Museum of Maryland come together for a conversation about how our museum communities and the Jewish community can work together in the fight for racial equity within our country. We will explore the work that needs to be done, how museums are rethinking their role and actively approaching the task, and offer some practical steps that we can all take to move forward together.

Visitors can join a popular activity here known as the Hearthside Suppers. This is a month-long series that honors ancient foodways, traditional hearth cookery, and the companionship of the common table. This event, which takes place in the majestic 1823 William Conner House and is presented by costumed interpreters by candlelight, provides attendees with a unique and participatory one-of-a-kind experience.
These Special Rocks Might Be What You Need Right Now
The world is currently in a state of perpetual upheaval. The present pandemic, war, mass shootings, and economic instability appear to be dominating the news. With everything that is happening, it is reassuring to know that there are still some people who are nice. In Central Indiana, individuals paint and design rocks and leave them in parks for random people to pick up and be inspired. These rocks also have messages on them that may help to uplift the spirits of those who find them. Cheers to these people who, despite what's going on in their own lives, continue to think about inspiring others.

I’m getting very frustrated. Here in Indiana there’s a place called Conner Prairie which is an interactive living museum where live actors portray life in various time periods. Well when I was young in their gift shop they had books, a plush, and a Christmas ornament based on this cat that used to live there named Bud. He was an orange stripped cat that had died a few years before I really got into Conner Prairie. Now I own the books and I can find traces of them online but I want to know more about the cat! I want to see pictures of him and actually read his story of him living in the actual museum. But there’s no mention of him anywhere online not even on their website. Just come on! Give me the cat!
