Just over one week before our 18th century trades fair! Stop on by during the day before heading to the Highland County Fair.

We have over 40 tradesmen and women demonstrating and selling their wares. Think of it as Williamsburg without the crowds, heat or price!

You’ll have a chance to handle items you’ve only read about, like the one in this video.

Speaking of chance, help support the Little Switzerland Strutters and buy a chance at a custom flintlock rifle.

We’re just over one week away!

While you’re enjoying the Highland County Fair in the evenings stop on by Fair Lawn Farm during the day to celebrate the 18th century in style!

Immerse yourself in the lifestyle and get a true sense of what our life was like 250 years ago.

Speaking of 250, we’ll see your 250 and raise you a 362 (year old rifle!).
This piece and many more will be present to see and handle.
