Event details
The Clow family emigrated from Scotland and over three generations grew “Riverview” from its first house to a 200-acre commercial farm. A naturalist will share stories of the Clows and life on the farm and welcome you inside the 19th-century buildings for a peek into the past.
Two sessions will be offered:
- Session 1: 10:30 a.m. to noon
- Session 2: 1 to 2:30 p.m.
