The annual Maize & Snitz Fest will take place at the 1719 Museum on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tour the home built in 1719 for the Herr Family and learn about local Indigenous life at the Lancaster Longhouse. Take in historical demonstrations, shop local vendors, and eat great local food! Interpreters and craftspeople will lead demonstrations throughout the day near the Herr House and the Lancaster Longhouse, offering insight into historic cultures, industries, and art forms. Stop by artisans’ stalls to learn about some of the traditional crafts that have both shaped and told the stories of local cultures.
