What a wonderful Saturday at the Scott County Heritage Museum’s Barn Sale & Farmers Market! 🐐🌽🐓

Visitors enjoyed shopping local vendors, fresh produce, handmade goods, and spending time with some very special animal guests at our petting zoo. Favorites included a 42-year-old tortoise, a five-week-old baby llama, donkeys, goats, a friendly calf, chickens that loved to “chat,” and a talkative turkey who definitely had plenty to say! 🦙🐢🐄
