2023 BHHA HISTORIC GARDEN IS CONTINUING TO GROW

Each year, with the help of volunteers, the BHHA plants crops that would have been grown by the Bishop Hill Colonists. This garden is located by the Albert Krans Livery Stable Museum. This year, broomcorn, sorghum, flax, popcorn, and sunflowers were planted. These crops will be harvested this fall and used for demonstrations during Jordbruksdagarna. Photographs of the crops, taken today, are shown below. Special thanks to Jeff Kaiser and Ben Strand for their help with the garden this year.
