Spring Cleaning

 Sunday, April 12th, 2026 :: 10:00am - 4:00pm
 Barrington Living History Farm
 Event Details

Spring cleaning was a yearly ritual that modern conveniences have obliterated the need to do. Preparing a home for warmer weather by chasing out cobwebs and dirt, scrubbing walls and floors, was much more laborious in the 1850s than cleaning today! Help sweep, wash windows, beat rugs and mattresses, and wash and wax furniture as needed. Contact us at Barrington-Plantation@thc.texas.gov or 936-878-2214 x248 for more information.
