Join us for a weekend of music, food, wine, and Ohio history!

Music has always been an important part of the Hale Family homestead, and we are excited to continue this tradition with our Music in the Valley Folk & Wine Festival! Presented in partnership with FolkNet, the weekend highlights the history and growth of folk music along with live musical performances across our historic site--paired perfectly with local food history, historic demonstrations, and Ohio wine tastes.
