See the grandeur of Harrison County from the air. Create memories of a lifetime. Take a selfie in a helicopter? Who can top that?

GENEALOGY EXPERIENCE

Since 1991, having been moved into Woodbine from its country location, Merry Brook School has been the home of the Harrison County Genelogical Society.  This society has come to be an important feature of Applefest. Each year they open their doors for the festival goers to explore the school and the passion that they share for history and geneology.  As a special treat, they procure a guest speaker (or two) to give a talk regarding a period of history. We encourage you to stop by, have a look around, and really soak up the magic that this place holds!
