The August Garden Club meeting was held at Folklore Village which is located in a lovely country setting six miles east of Dodgeville.
Folklore Village program director Meghan Dudle explained the many programs offered at Folklore Village and gave us a tour of the gardens and grounds.
Afterwards, the club enjoyed a potluck picnic on the grounds outside Farwell Hall.
Folklore Village offers an ongoing program of cultural, educational and participatory folklife activities, including dances, concerts, family events, cultural events, and exhibits. In the late 1960's Jane Farwell created Folklore Village, "the culmination of her ideas about festivals, folklore, dance, recreation, community, and the land." Jane also created the original gardens and an apple orchard which still exists. More recent additions include an extensive restored prairie with trails through it.
