There is such a gem in Sherburne that we hope folks will take time out to visit. Sherburne Historic Park is a wonderland of local history (both the log cabin and the nearby museum). Every year Historic Park hosts Heritage Day, which this year was on Saturday. Along with the artifacts—from artwork and antiques to posters and woven baskets—Heritage Day featured vendors, baked goods, and a live band.
We hope you took part in this terrific event, and if not, mark your calendars for next year!
