Families learn how farm families lived and worked through hands-on activities and historic demonstrations, play fall-themed games, make themed crafts, and explore the museum's exhibit gallery on rural life in eastern North Carolina. It is a good fit for elementary-age children who learn best by doing, and the games and crafts give preschoolers something to do as well. The festival runs from 10 am to 3 pm and admission is free, with donations appreciated; the event is supported by the Wilson County Tourism Development Authority and the Friends of the Tobacco Farm Life Museum. Kenly sits just off I-95 in northern Johnston County, an easy drive from Smithfield, Clayton and eastern Wake County. ## Similar picks in Raleigh - [Festival of Lights at Hill Ridge Farms](https://grassyknees.com/raleigh/activities/festival-of-lights-at-hill-ridge-farms--listing-b851867408c05106c70f642a) — Thu, Nov 26 · Hill Ridge Farms, Youngsville · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 27.
