Florida History To Come Alive This Weekend

    The biggest weekend of the year is set to descend on the community of Barberville, when the Barberville Pioneer Settlement hosts the 45th Annual Fall Country Jamboree. Slated for November 6 and 7, the weekend looks to bring history alive on the grounds of the living history settlement.
   Six stages of folk music, living history demonstrations, an arts and crafts show, and much more are all part of the two-day event. Visit a train layout of the historic line running through the Barberville area and west Volusia County, tour the historic Barberville schoolhouse and other historic structures, learn how candles and quilts are made, watch blacksmiths work their forges, and enjoy tasty treats from generations gone by at the sugar cane and corn boils.
   The jamboree offers fun for all ages from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Sunday at 1776 Lightfoot Lane in Barberville, which is just a few miles east of Astor on SR 40. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-12. Children under five are admitted free.
