Harvest Festival at Rocky Mount

Rocky Mount State Historic Site

Rocky Mount's Harvest Festival celebrates the autumn traditions of the frontier farm — apple butter making, cider pressing, corn shucking, and the harvest rhythms that sustained 18th-century families through the winter ahead. Heritage craft demonstrations, period music, and fall foliage on the Piney Flats hillside create the most photogenic event of the Rocky Mount season. The perfect fall weekend outing for families and heritage enthusiasts.
