Join us this fall for a day full of farming at Cordell Hull Birthplace! "Hull's Harvest" will differ from "Farming Up the Past", which we do in the spring. During this immersive interpretive experience, we will be harvesting our crops in the gardens and preparing the farm for the winter. Visitors will be able to interact with our living historians and interpreters to learn what it was like for families, like the Hulls, who lived in Tennessee during the 1870s.

As you make your way around the park and speak with our resident farmers, you will learn that nothing came easy and everything had to be earned. We hope that by attending this event and immersing yourself in the early life of Cordell Hull and his family, you will learn how the small farm he grew up on in rural Pickett County, Tennessee came to shape his character later in life.

This year, there will be 8 stations featuring a variety craft that would have used in everyday life of the 1870s.
