NHTP artists Geneveive Aichele, Meghann Beauchamp, CJ Lewis and Matt Saunders are set for two performances of The Story of Johnny Appleseed on Saturday, September 10 at 12:30 & 3 pm at the Jackson Hill Cider.

JACKSON HILL CIDER DAY
Saturday, September 10 - Noon to 4 p.m. on the grounds of the Jackson House, the oldest house in northern New England.

This early fall festival will celebrate all things apple-related, under the fruit-laden branches of the Jackson House's historic orchard. Activities and games for kids, like bobbing for apples and apple matching, music, and refreshments will be offered along with cider pressing and spinning demonstrations.

Local craftsmen and artisans will also be on-hand and tours of the c. 1664 historic house will be available. River Run Bookstore is supporting the event by offering a number of season-inspired books for sale, and local group Reaganta will be playing in the orchard throughout the afternoon. Artist and illustrator Leona Hosack will also be available to cut silhouette portraits.

"Jackson Hill Cider Day has become a favorite fall tradition for so many people in the area," said Regional Site Manager Craig Tuminaro. "It will be a great day to relax, have some fun, and celebrate the start of the harvest season while also learning a little bit about one of Portsmouth's oldest treasures."

The Jackson House is located at 76 Northwest Street, along the north shore of the North Mill Pond. The event is free to members of Historic New England, $6 for nonmembers and $3 for children. Advance tickets may be purchased by calling 603-436-3205 or by visiting the Events page at www.HistoricNewEngland.org.
