Milton Winter Carnival 2019

This event was held on Saturday, March 2, 2019.

Celebrate Winter with the NH Farm Museum

We’ll be holding two events for this year’s winter carnival – a kids’ fire-making competition at the farm and ice harvesting at the town beach. Both events are FREE to all!

10–11am: Build a Fire Competition

Who will be the first to get their fire going? Join us at the Farm Museum for 10am on Saturday as we hold this classic competition. All kids are welcome at this event. Bring your own team or join a team when you get here!

Every team will be given the same supplies (wood, pot, water, match) as they work together to build a fire healthy enough to boil water. There will be fun, fire, and prizes!

DATE: Saturday, March 2
TIME: 10:00 – 11:00
LOCATION: At the Farm Museum

10am–3pm: Ice Harvesting at Milton Beach

Harvesting ice was an absolute necessity for procuring water in winter, and ice was actually a cash crop for New England farmers! Join the NH Farm Museum as we harvest ice during the Milton Ice Carnival.

DATE: Saturday, March 2
TIME: 10:00 – 3:00
LOCATION: Milton Town Beach
