Meadowcroft to host taffy pull and fall finale

1 min read

Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village outside Avella will host its Taffy Pull & Fall Finale on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Visitors will be able to enjoy cooking demonstrations in the Hamilton Log House, cornhusk crafting in the 18th-century frontier area, and test their skills with the atlatl – a spear-thrower used by prehistoric hunters – in a re-created 16th-century Monongahela Indian Village.

In addition, visitors can bring their sweet tooth to special taffy pulling parties at the King House for an additional $5 fee. They will learn about historic confections and make the old-fashioned treat to take home. Space is limited for the taffy pulling, so reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made by calling 724-587-3412.

The last day of Meadowcroft’s 2022 season is Sunday, Oct. 30.
