Big Jamboree Weekend Arrives At Pioneer Settlement

    The biggest weekend of the year has arrived for the Barberville Pioneer Settlement.  Located in Barberville, the settlement will come alive on Saturday and Sunday, November 2-3, for two packed days of celebration of the folk arts.
    Live folk and bluegrass music on multiple stages, arts and crafts, living history displays, workshops, a corn boil, and much more are all slated to convene among the dozens of historic structures at the settlement.
    Located at the intersection of SR 40 and US 17 east of Astor, the settlement is located on an estimated 30 acres of land surrounding the historic Barberville schoolhouse.  A train depot, log cabin, a church, and other historic buildings house reencactors of blacksmithing, weaving, candle making, and more, allowing eventgoers the chance to experience old Florida up close.  Bands will dot porches, stages, and 'jam tents' around the grounds providing all-day entertainment to attendees.
    The event will run from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
    Admission is $10 for adults, and $5 for children ages 6-12.  Children ages five and under are admitted free, as are members of the settlement's support organization.
