On Saturday, October 27, 2012, a Fall Festival was held on the grounds of the blockhouse (a reproduction of a 1760's house/fort) at Natural Tunnel State Park, Duffield Virginia. The Festival featured the reenactment of a harvest celebration as part of life on the Appalachian Mountain frontier of 1775. There were demonstrations of cooking, baking, candle making, flax processing and spinning, yarn and cloth dying, blacksmithing, and flint knife and arrow making.
