Bring Dad to GCV&M for FREE on Father's Day!
We celebrate Father’s Day at GCV&M with a variety of family fun and activities, and FREE admission for Dad! Get up close with our historical trades at Print Office, Blacksmith, or Cooper. Speak with historical farmers about their daily tasks and meet animals on the Early Settlement Farm. Don’t miss the last season of our exhibit “Everybody’s Going to be There! The American Rural Cemetery Movement” in the John L. Wehle Gallery (featuring some truly neat lawn mowing equipment from the 19th century).
 
When you need a break, stop in at Depot Restaurant for a bite to eat or treat dad to a pint of Fat Ox or Stocking Hill Ale at the Freight House Pub! Top off your visit with our sweet treats from the Confectionery. It’s all about Dad today!
