Come Join Us for a Re-creation of Whiting History
Thursday, August 5 through Sunday, August 8, 2010

Travel back in time to an era that was very different from our current  world.  Experience some of the activities common in days gone by.  We will have three full days of exciting activities and experiences.  Put this on your calendar now!

We ask that everyone plan, if at all possible, to:
  • volunteer a couple hours of your time
  • stay through the Sunday church service
  • dress in period costume
    (anything found in the Red Whiting Book)
  • arrive and set up on Thursday
       

You My No Longer Register In Advance

You may, however, register at the Homestead.  Stragglers are welcome!

Whiting Village

Back by popular request will be the Whiting Village.  The Village will be a re-creation of Whiting history - similar in intent as to what you might find at Colonial Williamsburg, Historic Kirtland or Old Deseret Village.  From the written and verbal histories of our progenitors, we have compiled enough information to  be able to re-create the atmosphere and activities that were commonplace to earlier generations.

With your help, we hope to have many of the following attractions and activities.  But it really depends on you!
  • Barbershop
  • Beauty Parlor
  • Beekeeping
  • Blacksmith Shop*
  • Bullwhip
  • Calf Roping
