Experience early rural life at the Blue Ridge Institute's Blue Ridge Institute & Museum"s Farm, a re-created 19th century Blue Ridge, Virginia-German farmstead. Costumed interpreters prepare meals over the open hearth, drive oxen, blacksmith, and carry out a host of other household and farm chores of the period.
