The Jonathan Fisher House of Blue Hill will host a celebration of autumn at the House on Sunday, October 10 from noon to 2:00 PM. Pear and apple cider will be pressed on-site from the blue-ribbon winning pears planted by Jonathan Fisher as early as 1805. Attendees are encouraged to bring a jug or jar to take home some “peary” of their own.

This event is open to the public and free of charge, though donations are always welcome. Cider-pressing will be held outdoors, and any visitors to the interior of the House will be required to wear masks.

The Jonathan Fisher House is a historic house museum in Blue Hill. Fisher’s famed collection of folk art, surveying instruments, woodworking tools, furniture, and farming implements that he designed and personally made are housed at the Homestead located at 44 Mines Road (U.S. 15 S).
