Open Farm Days | Windy Rafters Dance Barn

Windy Rafters Dance Barn invites visitors to step back in time during Alberta Open Farm Days, offering a unique and engaging look at rural life in the early 1900s. This free, family-friendly experience blends education and entertainment with guided tours of the 1905 Orton one-room schoolhouse, a replica homestead cabin, a historic workhorse barn, and a traditional weaving shed. Guests can enjoy a scenic hay wagon ride while learning about agriculture, nature, and local history. Interactive demonstrations bring the past to life, including rope making, blacksmith forging, and simulated cow milking, alongside hands-on activities like wooden calf roping, horseshoes, and pony rides. Visitors can also meet friendly farm animals and, season permitting, experience a combine harvesting ride. A concession lunch is available, making it easy to spend the day exploring, learning, and enjoying authentic rural traditions.
