Bright Leaf Harvest Day - Duke Homestead
Experience North Carolina farming culture and history at Duke Homestead! We’ll be harvesting our tobacco out of the field and demonstrating the process of tobacco looping. Visitors are welcome to try their hand at these activities, or to chat with an interpreter in the historic buildings. This event is free to the public. It will be a free-flowing event from 10am-2pm. The Duke Homestead Education and History Corporation, the volunteer non-profit support group for Duke Homestead, will also be holding a barbecue lunch fundraiser on August 22nd. Individual meal tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door, and the meals are available for both take-out or eating in the site’s picnic area.
