Hard Work & Hydration

 Saturday, August 1st, 2026 :: 10:00am - 4:00pm
 Barrington Living History Farm

Summer marks the busiest time for field crop work – as well as the highest temperatures! Join us in the fields for hands-on opportunities working with the crops, then cool off at the house and try a sample of “switchel” — a historic thirst-quenching drink similar in purpose to sports drinks today. Contact us at Barrington-Plantation@thc.texas.gov or 936-878-2214 x248 for more information.
