Goschenhoppen Folk Festival

Take a step back into time-to the 18th and 19th century. Visit the Goschenhoppen Folk Festival held at the Henry Antes Plantation, Colonial Road, in Frederick, Pa.

This is probably the most authentic festival in the United States, depicting the early Pennsylvania Germans. For over 40 years they have recreated their folk culture, trades and home skills.

It is a non-commercial, family oriented event. I am amazed that one can find three generations working together making up over 500 skilled and apprentice craftsmen, giving live demonstrations of more than 150 skills of early American Life.
