Oxen Day

Posted

Come to Coggeshall Farm Museum and experience what life was like on an 18th-century farm, complete with a pair of visiting oxen! The oxen team, Red and Don, will be visiting from our partner museum, Old Sturbridge Village. Together, they will demonstrate some of the tasks that oxen and their teamsters would have tended to on the farm in the 1790s. Watch the pair hard at work and have all of your oxen questions answered!

Guests can also meet our sheep, pigs, and chickens, play simple games, explore our nature trail, and more.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
