2026 Apple Butter Stirrin’ Festival

Nestled in the rolling hills of Ohio, along the remnants of ancient canal locks, sits a 19th-century village that never stopped telling its story.

For three days each October, that story comes alive in a way you can feel.

Iron is forged by fire inside the original Blacksmith Shop. Looms turn in the Craftsman House. A canal boat moves along the towpath, pulled by draft horses beneath a canopy of autumn trees. Just as it did nearly 200 years ago.
