Welcome to the Thumb Octagon Barn Farm Museum. Each spring we do a School Tours event for the children of our area. We thank you for attending this year’s event.
Our aim is to not only entertain but to educate the folks about some of the music played in earlier days. Participants will see musicians performing old-time country and children songs, accompanying themselves on guitars, mandolin, etc. All of the time at this station, the students and adults will be singing along, doing the ‘do-si-do’ or Hokey Pokey, including several songs about a variety of Farm Animals! The students will get a sampling of how people entertained themselves in simpler times, demonstrated by ‘old-timers’ who grew up with these songs and are eager about passing them on to the new generation.
