Celebrate the “good old days” by bringing the whole
family to Duvall for a day of fun, learning, and reminiscing at the Duvall
Heritage Festival on Sat., Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the historic
Dougherty House and Farmstead at 26520 Cherry Valley Road in Duvall.
Learn how the pioneers lived and worked.
Watch a blacksmith at work and a field being plowed the old fashioned
way with mules. Look at antique
tractors. Shell some corn, make
cider, braid rope, churn butter, and wash clothes the old-fashioned way.
Antique quilts will be on display in the Dougherty
House, a well preserved example of a late 19th century farmhouse.
It was built one year prior to Washington’s statehood and once served
as a territorial post office.
Guided tours include the farmhouse, a restored logging bunk house, milk
house, and old tool display. A
pioneer cemetery is also located on this site.
Kick up your heels and dance to
the music of Tinker’s Dram, a contra and square dance group or rest
your feet, relax, and listen to Snoqualmie Valley folk music by the Big Rock
Candy Mountain Band and folk music and stories by Bob Antone.
Booths will provide information about Mountains to
Sound, 4-H, and the Tualco Grange.
There is fun for all ages and free admission. Free parking is available at Holy Innocents Catholic Church just east of the Dougherty Farmstead on Cherry Valley Road. Handicapped parking available on site.
