Steppingstone Museum, located in the Susquehanna State Park, preserves and demonstrates the rural arts and crafts of the 1880-1920 period in Harford County. The Steppingstone collection is comprised of domestic arts, skilled trades and husbandry. The museum was established for the education of the younger generation and continues to strive to achieve this goal through a variety of guided tours and craft workshop programs. Their exhibits include a wood wrights shop, blacksmith shop, decoy carving shop and restored farmhouse as well as various antique farm implements. Steppingstone Museum also hosts special events throughout the year. In May they have a weekend Civil War Encampment, in June a Celtic Festival and our personal favorite is the Fall Harvest and Craft Festival. We attend every year in early fall. It's a great event for children of all ages.
